There are two forms of consecrated religious life in the Catholic Church: contemplative and apostolic life. Those who lead a contemplative lifestyle have an enclosed lifestyle away from the hustle bustle of the world. Those who lead an apostolic lifestyle, they engage with the public. Both serve God and the Church in unique ways.
