A religious sister (abbreviated Sr. or Sist.) in the Catholic Church is a woman who has taken public vows in a religious institute dedicated to apostolic works, as distinguished from a nun who lives a cloistered monastic life dedicated to prayer. Both nuns and sisters use the term "sister" as a form of address.

  • Eine Ordensschwester oder Ordensfrau ist ein weibliches Mitglied einer Ordensgemeinschaft. Die Ordensschwester weiht ihr Leben Gott und dem Dienst an den Menschen. Sie ist durch Gelübde oder Versprechen an Gott, die Kirche und ihre Gemeinschaft gebunden und dabei ihrer Oberin, in manchen Orden Mutter Oberin genannt, unterstellt. (de)
  • A religious sister (abbreviated Sr. or Sist.) in the Catholic Church is a woman who has taken public vows in a religious institute dedicated to apostolic works, as distinguished from a nun who lives a cloistered monastic life dedicated to prayer. Both nuns and sisters use the term "sister" as a form of address. The HarperCollins Encyclopedia of Catholicism (1995) defines as "congregations of sisters institutes of women who profess the simple vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, live a common life, and are engaged in ministering to the needs of society." As William Saunders writes: "When bound by simple vows, a woman is a sister, not a nun, and thereby called 'sister'. Nuns recite the Liturgy of the Hours or Divine Office in common … [and] live a contemplative, cloistered life in a monastery … behind the 'papal enclosure'. Nuns are permitted to leave the cloister only under special circumstances and with the proper permission." (en)
  • La suora (dal latino sŏrŏr, sororis, «sorella»), nella Chiesa cattolica, è una donna che ha pronunciato voti pubblici e semplici di povertà, obbedienza e castità e che conduce vita fraterna in una congregazione religiosa canonicamente eretta dalla legittima autorità ecclesiastica. Le congregazioni di suore di diritto pontificio sono elencate nell'Annuario pontificio. A differenza delle monache (che emettono voti solenni e appartengono a ordini religiosi antichi), generalmente le suore non vivono in clausura ma si dedicano a opere di apostolato attivo, come l'assistenza ad anziani e ammalati o l'istruzione e l'educazione cristiana della gioventù.
