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.
A man who feels called by the Lord to serve the Church as a priest or deacon is welcomed to call the parish office to speak with a priest about his discernment of God's will.
