What is the sacrament of Holy Orders
The sacrament of “Holy Orders is the
sacrament through which the mission
entrusted by Christ to his apostles is
exercised and sustained in the Church until
the end of time.
It is the sacrament of apostolic ministry”
(CCC, 1536)
 The Sacrament of Holy Orders can be
conferred only on baptized
men, following the example set by Jesus
Christ and His Apostles, who chose only
men as their successors.
Holy orders as a vocation
This sacrament is a Vocation
A vocation is a calling
Holy Orders is a special calling by God for
some men to live their lives in total service
to Him as bishops, priests, or deacons of
the Catholic Church.
Deacon (The Diaconate)
Deacons are ordained at a lower
level of Holy Orders
They preach, assist at Mass, and
serve the poor.
Priest (The Presbyterate)
A Priest is a baptized man who has received the
sacrament of Holy orders.
Priests serve as co-workers of the bishops, and receive
their faculties to administer the sacraments from
bishops.
In the Catholic Church, ordination only takes place after
years of discernment, study, and spiritual training.
Bishop (The Episcopate)
Only a Catholic bishop has the fullness of Holy
Orders and the ability to ordain other men to
the priesthood. The ordination occurs when the
bishop recites the ordination prayer while
placing his hands on the head of a baptized
male.
Deacons
Deacon
Priest
Bishop
When the Sacrament of Holy Orders is
received, Catholic Bishops, Priests, and
Deacons are strengthened by the grace of
God and are able to serve worthily and to
administer the sacraments to the faithful.
Conclusion
Only men can receive the sacrament of Holy
orders.
Like Baptism and Confirmation, the sacrament of
Holy Orders leaves a permanent mark on the
soul and can only be received once.
Personal Activity
Mention the three degrees found in the
sacrament of Holy orders.
What does each degree represent?
