Holy Orders is the ordination of a man to his vocation to the priesthood. In the Sacrament of Holy Orders, also known as Ordination, the priest being ordained vows to lead other Catholics by bringing them the sacraments (especially the Eucharist), by proclaiming the Gospel, and by providing other means to holiness. It also includes diaconate ordinations, and ordinations to the episcopacy, for Bishops.
Anyone seeking information regarding the Priesthood, Permanent Deaconate, Religous Life, or to serve in our Parish as a Lay Minister, please speak with Fr. Tom. “By your endurance you will gain your souls” Are you being invited to gain your soul and the souls of countless others for Christ as a priest, deacon or in the consecrated life? Contact the Vocation Office at 718-827-2454 or send them an email.
