Fra Angelico
Please stop changing the word convent to monastery. We keep having to reverse your edit. I presume that you mean it for the best, but the editors who have chosen to use the word "convent" know what they are talking about.

Fra Angelico was a Dominican Friar. He lived in a "convent" which is a house within the community that the friars serve. Monks, on the other hand, retreat from the world into a "monastery". The ideas behind them are different. Monasteries are often in remote places, or a cut off from the community by a high wall. Those orders who work closely with the community, as teachers, nurses, social workers etc, usually live in convents.
