A few among us may be called by God to follow in the footsteps of Jesus' chosen apostles. After long years of prayer and study, they will be ordained in the Sacrament of Holy Orders. Bishops, priests and deacons experience the sacrament in varying degrees. The Bishop lays hands upon them as a symbol that they continue the work of Christ as shepherds of his people. A Priest leads the community of believers in celebrating their relationship with God.
