Cloister residents (4)

I believe the answer is:

nuns

(Other definitions for nuns that I've seen before include "Women in religious vocations" , "Religious community members" , "Retired women" , "Sisters in order" , "Religious sisters" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com and the King Feature Syndicate.
