Holy Orders

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: thus it is the sacrament of apostolic  ministry.  It includes three degrees:  episcopate, Presbyterian, and diaconate.

Holy Orders:

Please call the pastor if you feel you might be called to the priesthood or the   diaconate.

Curious  about  the  Diaconate? 
Come  and  See!
