Best Answer
A priory is a monastery whose superior is a Prior. Certain sects or groups of christians like the Dominicans, Augustinian Hermits, Carthusians, Carmelites, Servites, and Brothers of Mercy call their monasteries priories. You can find lots of detail in wikipedia (and you don't even have to get up from your computer).
