Sacrament of 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…It includes three degrees of order: episcopate, presbyterate, and diaconate." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1536).

Bishops, priests and deacons are essential to the Catholic Church because we believe that they continue the work begun by the apostles.

Significance of Apostolic Succession

The teaching authority of the Church comes from Christ himself, who extended this authority to Saint Peter and the Apostles; they, in turn, have passed it down through Apostolic Succession to the Popes and bishops of every age.

Christ's hands blessed and touched Saint Peter of the twelve Apostles. Saint Peter is the first Bishop of Rome who is now called the Pope!
