Holy Orders & Religious Life

“Holy Orders is the sacrament through which the mission entrusted by Christ to his apostles is exercised in the Church until the end of time. It is the sacrament of apostolic ministry. It includes three degrees: episcopate, presbyterate and diaconate.” Catechism of the Catholic Church, § 1356

People who believe they are called to ordained ministry or to the religious life may visit the Archdiocese of Minneapolis and St. Paul Office of Vocations or call 651.962.6890.
