Holy Orders
and like living stones be yourselves built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 2:5)
"Holy Orders is the sacrament through which the mission entrusted by Christ to his apostles continues to be exercised in the Church until the end of time…It includes three degrees of order: episcopate, presbyterate, and diaconate" (CCC 1536). Deacons, priest and bishops are essential to the Catholic Church because we believe that they continue the work begun by the apostles.
Celebrating the Sacrament
Men who are discerning a call to the priesthood or diaconate are encouraged to use our diocesan links.
There is also information on that same page for those who are discerning calls to religious life and lay ministry.

“Giving one’s life does not only mean being killed; giving one’s life, having the spirit of a martyr, it is in giving in duty, in silence, in prayer, in honest fulfillment of his duty — in that silence of daily life, giving one’s life little by little.” — Pope Francis Reflection: Do you give your life for others in small ways on a daily basis? If not, what makes it challenging for you to have the spirit of giving of your life freely? This content comes to you from Our Sunday Visitor courtesy of your parish or diocese.
