Holy Orders

Posted On:

Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1536: 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, presbyterate, and diaconate.

If a man thinks that God may be calling him to the priesthood, he is most welcome to talk with any of our parish priests or contact the Vocation Office of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.

If a man thinks that God may be calling him to the permanent diaconate, he is most welcome to talk with any of the parish clergy or contact the Department of Permanent Deacons.
