Holy Orders

The Sacrament of Holy Orders

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.
— Catechism of the Catholic Church – 1536
