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, presbyterate, and diaconate.

God is calling many men of various ages within our diocese to serve his Holy Church as a priest. If someone hears this call, we pray his parents, family, and friends will be of great support and encouragement. Any man considering the priesthood may feel free to speak to Fr. Charles , Assistant Vocations Director or contact Fr. Matthew Mason, Director of Office of Vocations for the Diocese of Manchester, at mmason@rcbm.org |
