The Archdiocese of Washington's website has further information concerning Vocations in the Church. It is easier to access their site with a high speed internet connection.

 

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. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1536)

Ordination is a response to God's calling to service in the priesthood. If you, or someone you know, feel that God is inviting you to this vocation, please contact a priest at the rectory.
