Although we often think of the parish priest when we think of Holy Orders, the Sacrament of Holy Orders is made up of those men who serve as deacons, priests, and bishops in the Church. All three orders are unique calls to service and sacrifice, each in its own right.
If you are interested in learning more about discerning a call to the priesthood, please use the link to the Diocese of Lafayette/Vocations for more information.
For more information about serving as a permanent deacon, please refer to the Office of the Diaconate.
