Holy Orders

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.  For more information, click here.
