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. (CCC 1536)

To those who are discerning a religious vocation - we are praying for you! St. John XXIII is proud to foster religious vocations and provide guidance for those who desire to seriously discern this beautiful vocation.

For men discerning the priesthood, diaconate, or a religious order, and for women discerning a religious order, we invite you to speak with our pastor, Fr. Imo, to discuss the next steps of your discernment.
