Ordination to the priesthood is always a call and a gift from God. Christ reminded His apostles that they needed to ask the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into the harvest.

By their consecration, bishops, and priests act in the Person of Christ, representing Him as the Head of the Church. Deacons are ordained unto the ministry of service but not to the priesthood. Deacons assist bishops and priests in the celebration of the sacred mysteries. They can baptize, witness a marriage, preside over funerals, and at other liturgical events.

Those interested in ministry as a priest, deacon, or religious should contact the Parish Office at 770-382-4549.
