This was not a problem for Salmon, who was an Anglican, but in order to take up the Fellowship that Trinity offered him in 1841 he was required to take holy orders in the Church of Ireland, which indeed he did being ordained deacon in 1844 and a priest in 1845.
Ito ay hindi isang problema para sa Salmon, na noon ay isang Anglikano, ngunit upang tanggapin ang Trinity Fellowship na inaalok sa kanya sa 1841 siya ay kinakailangang kumuha ng banal na kautusan sa Simbahan ng Ireland, na sa katunayan siya ay ini-ordained dyakono sa 1844 at ng isang pari sa 1845.
