Sacrament of Holy Orders

THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY ORDERS

“At the sight of the crowds, His heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.” Then He summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits to drive them out and to cure every disease and illness.” (Matthew 9:36-10:1)

Holy Orders is the Sacrament by which grace and spiritual power are conferred by Christ on those whom He calls to be Shepherds of His people as Bishops, Priests, and Deacons.

What if you had the unique opportunity to be an instrument of God’s grace for the salvation of countless numbers of souls, would you embrace it?

For God’s sake and the sake of others, think about it, pray about it, and then do whatever He tells you (John 2:5) Those discerning a Vocation to the Sacred Priesthood, Religious Life, or Diaconate should call the Parish Office at 337-394-6021 or e-mail [email protected] to speak to Fr.
