The Sacrament of Apostolic Ministry by which the mission entrusted by Christ to his Apostles continues to be exercised in the Church through the laying of hands. This Sacrament has three distinct degrees or “order”: deacon, priest, and bishop. All three confer a permanent, sacramental character. To learn more about becoming a priest or deacon, visit the Archdiocesan Office for Vocations website.
What is a Vocation?
In the simplest terms, “vocation” means a “call.” So, in general terms your vocation is what God calls you to do with your life. Everybody is called by God to know, love and serve him. The difference is how each one does this.
