friars
Mendicant religious order members
Friars are members of certain Roman Catholic religious orders—Franciscans, Dominicans, Carmelites, and Augustinians being the major ones.
Unlike monks, who typically live in seclusion, friars move about in the world, preaching and serving communities.
The word shares roots with fraternal, emphasizing the brotherly bond among members.
The friar blessed the crowd gathered in the square.
