Holy Orders

Sacrament of Holy Orders
Certain members of the Church are called by God, in and through the Church, to a special service of the community. These servants are chosen and consecrated by the sacrament of Holy Orders, by which the Holy Spirit enables them to act in the person of Christ the head, for the service of all the members of the Church (CCC 1142).

Vocations Inquiries
