and like living stones be yourselves built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 2:5)
Congratulations! Please know we are praying for you! The priesthood and religious life are amazing vocations filled with joy and many oppurtunities to bring the good news of Christ to the world. We invite you make an appointment with Fr. Justin Baker by contacting the parish office.
Since the beginning, the ordained ministry has been conferred and exercised in three degrees: that of bishops, that of presbyters, and that of deacons. The ministries conferred by ordination are irreplaceable for the organic structure of the Church: without the bishop, presbyters, and deacons, one cannot speak of the Church. (CCC 1593)
