“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. (CCC 1536)” Christ calls priests to work for the salvation of souls. The grace of Jesus’ saving work is still offered to each of us through the Church, in the sacraments. Priests are given the responsibility of handling and making available the sacraments for the good of all God’s people. The call to priesthood comes from God and he waits for those who will respond with generosity. For information or guidance on discerning the call to Holy Orders or other religious vocations please contact your parish priest or find other information at this link http://www.dolr.org/offices/vocations
