Holy Order

The sacrament through which men are ordained to serve as deacons, priests, or bishops.

For Adults

Men discerning priesthood or the permanent diaconate should begin with regular spiritual direction and speak with the parish priest for diocesan discernment steps.

Holy Orders configures ordained ministers to Christ in a unique way for service, preaching, and sacramental leadership. Boys and young men are encouraged to grow in faith, service, and vocational discernment.
