What role do nuns play in the Catholic Church?

Nuns must teach the True Faith and the Holy Tradition of the Catholic Church. They do this by teaching classes, but they also indirectly teach by the example of their lifestyle. Nuns may teach secular courses in universities and colleges. Catholic students use nuns as mentors to progress their own spiritual growth.

What do nuns do in schools?

Nuns take vows that vary by faith and order, but often involve dedicating themselves to a life of poverty and chastity. Some nuns devote themselves to prayer, while others, known as religious sisters, serve their community by helping the poor, teaching in schools, or providing health care.

Do you know the nuns who taught you in school?

In First and Second grade I personally knew the nuns who taught us; my Aunt was a nun and the Principal of the school. That is not a good thing, btw.

Do Catholic schools use corporal punishment?

Corporal punishment was typical in public schools as well as private religious schools until recently. It is now illegal in most US states, so anybody aware of physical abuse at a Catholic school or at any other needs to review the corporal punishment rules for that state and make a call to CPS.

What is the difference between a nun and a sister?

Nuns are cloistered. Their primary job is to pray. (Think of the abbey in The Sound of Music.) The members of religious orders who work out in the general public are called “sisters” but they are not nuns, and they devote their lives to many different pursuits.
