Holy Orders
turn to God
Called to Serve God and His People
Holy Orders is the Sacrament through which Christ’s mission continues in the Church through the ministry of bishops, priests, and deacons.
Those who receive Holy Orders dedicate their lives to serving God and His people through prayer, preaching, worship, pastoral care, and service.
A Call to Serve
A vocation to Holy Orders is a call to follow Christ through a life of prayer, service, and dedication to the Church. The journey requires discernment, spiritual formation, and a willingness to serve others.
The Three Degrees of Holy Orders
- Bishops – Receive the fullness of Holy Orders and lead and serve the local Church.
- Priests – Celebrate the Sacraments, proclaim the Gospel, and care for God's people.
- Deacons – Serve the Church through ministry, proclaiming the Gospel, assisting at the altar, and serving those in need.
