Holy Orders

Holy Orders

Do you hear the call?

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. (CCC1536) 

In Holy Orders, men are ordained Priests, Deacons, and Bishops. Priests serve as spiritual leaders of their communities, and Deacons serve to remind us of our baptismal call to help others. Bishops carry on the teachings of the Apostles. If you are interested in a vocation to the Priesthood or Diaconate, please contact Father Chacon at the Parish Office 505-325-0287 or the Vocations Director, Father Josh Mayer at 505-632-2014.
