Sacrament of Holy Orders

The Sacrament of Holy Orders is a sacred rite through which men are consecrated to serve as bishops, priests, or deacons in the Catholic Church. It bestows spiritual authority, responsibility, and the ability to perform sacraments, such as celebrating the Eucharist. This sacrament signifies a lifelong commitment to serve God's church and its members, fostering spiritual leadership and guidance. Through Holy Orders, those ordained become part of an unbroken tradition, dedicated to guiding, teaching, and ministering to the faithful.
