The Sacrament of 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” – Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 1536)

“The whole Church is a priestly people… [in] the sacrament of Holy Orders… the task is to serve in the name and in the person of Christ the Head in the midst of the Community” (CCC 1591)

“The priesthood is the love of the heart of Jesus” – St. Jean Vianney

“Young people, have you ever thought of committing your existence totally to Christ? Do you think there can be anything greater than to bring Jesus to people and people to Jesus?” – Pope St. John Paul II
