Friary:

a building in which friars live [Cambridge Dictionary]

While clear from context, I thought it best to get the exact definition in case there was nuance, which there was not. At least, to the extent we can be exact when there are several distinct sources. Noted in “A new pope confronts his church’s abuse scandal amid praise and scrutiny,” Karin Brulliard, Samantha Schmidt, Jonathan Edwards and Jonathan O’Connell, WaPo:

In March, the U.S.-based Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests, or SNAP, sent a complaint to the Vatican calling for investigations into both cases: an accusation that a quarter-century ago, Prevost approved the relocation of an abuser to a Chicago friary located near a parish elementary school; and a 2023 claim by three sisters in Peru who say that Prevost, at that point a bishop for the Diocese of Chiclayo, insufficiently investigated their allegations of sexual abuse by two priests years earlier.
