    • HOLY ORDERS

       

      “Like living stones, let yourselves built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 2:5

       
      Baptized, Catholic men, who are called by God to be a deacon, priest or bishop, can be ordained and receive the Sacrament of Holy Orders. Through this sacrament, these men commit to serving God and his Church; they continue Christ’s priesthood.

      Christ entrusted the apostles to continue his mission to spread the news of Christianity. Today, Holy Orders, given to bishops, priests and deacons, continues this mission in the Church, which is why it is referred to as the sacrament of apostolic ministry.

      The Pope is the leader of the Catholic Church. Bishops work together with the Pope and other bishops, and they are responsible for the entire Church—teaching, governing and sanctifying. Priests carry out the sacraments, consecrate the Body and Blood of Christ, administer the Eucharist, and proclaim the Word of God. Deacons assist during Mass, teach and are involved in charitable work.

       

  • Women's Vocations

    • "Behold therefore, I will allure her into the desert and speak to her heart."
      - Hosea 2:14


      Considering the possibility of a consecrated vocation? Never experienced the life of a religious community before, but would like to have the opportunity?

      Feel free to get in contact with Meghan, head of women's vocations for the parish! 

      Meghan's Discernment 

      I discerned a religious vocation for two years in the Community of the Lamb. The experience was powerful and helped me to grow both humanly and spiritually. I was able to discover the person of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit during my time with them, but by the end of it, my call was clearly not to religious life.
      This year, I am getting married to a wonderful man. Both of us agree that even as little as 4 years ago we would not have been ready to date one another. For me personally, I know that it was by giving my life to the Lord and letting Him guide me step by step that I now have the tools to encounter my fiance just as we are - however imperfectly - in simplicity and love: "wounded, I will never cease to love." 

    • My vocation, at last I have found it: my vocation is love.
