Holy Orders
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. It includes three degrees: episcopate, presbyterate, and diaconate.
Now, more than ever, committed Catholics who feel God's call to serve as a priest, sister, brother or deacon, are needed. Religious vocations offer tremendous opportunities and joy for those who are called to this vocation. The sacrament of Holy Orders is conferred by a bishop to those called to the priesthood or diaconate.
If you are thinking about religious life or becoming a deacon, please feel free to make an appointment with one of the priests or deacons here at Saint Anne's. You can also call the Diocese's Vocation Office at (631) 424-9888 or email at vocations@drvc.org.
Know that the parish prays for you as you discern how God is calling you to live your life!
