Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina

People are sometimes confused the first time they hear the term “religious priest.” Aren’t all priests religious? In this context, the word “religious” refers to someone who belongs to a religious order, such as the Benedictines or Dominicans. Such priests are called “religious” to distinguish them from those incardinated in a diocese, who are referred to as diocesan or secular priests.
