Holy Orders

St. Paul said to his disciple Timothy, “I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is within you through the laying on of my hands” (2 Timothy 1:6) and “If any one aspires to the office of bishop, he desires a noble task.” (1 Timothy 3:1) To Titus he said, “This is why I left you in Crete, that you amend what was defective, and appoint presbyters in every town, as I directed you.” (Titus 1:5).

The Catechism of the Catholic Church States: “Holy Orders is the sacrament through which the mission entrsuted 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. It includes three degrees: episcopate (bishops), presbyterate (priests), and diaconate (deacons).”
