Lay Religious

The religious laity are members of a particular religious order who make a commitment to live a life of prayer, study, and service while keeping their own lifestyle and careers as single or married women and men.

Also known as secular third orders, the religious laity are people who follow the inspiration and guidance of a particular religious order while still maintaining a life in the secular world. Usually the formation for the religious laity is longer than with an associate program.

'There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but from the same Spirit; there are different forms of service but the same Lord; there are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone. '1 Corinthians 12: 4-6
