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: thus it is the sacrament of apostolic ministry. It includes three degrees: episcopate, presbyterate, and diaconate. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1536)
Those interested in discerning a vocation to the priesthood, permanent diaconate, or religious life should contact one of the parish priests. Also, check the "Vocation Office" page at www.victoriadiocese.org.
