Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” 

John 21:16

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. Bishops, priests, and deacons all receive this sacrament.

Did you know every Bishop was ordained by another leading all the way back to Christ giving the power to Peter 2,000 years ago? This is called Apostolic Succession and shows the “One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic” nature of the Church. Christ has instituted the eternal priesthood to make His death and Resurrection present at the hands of the priest every time he performs the Sacraments. This Sacrament is a “Character Sacrament” like Baptism, meaning your soul is marked forever with the priesthood and it can never be taken away!
