Other Duties of the Church Education -- monasteries were Centers of learning -- teach reading and writing Latin (not their vernacular language) Vernacular: Your native language –Ex. English people speak English, French speak French Establish schools throughout Europe Hospital -- care for the sick and needy Inn -- guest houses for travelers
