Ordination to the Sacred Priesthood

The Rite of Ordination

Ordination is the sacramental ceremony in which Holy Orders are conferred and the man being ordained becomes a priest, enabling him to minister in Christ’s name through the Church. The Rite of Ordination ceremony includes various rituals, rich in meaning and history.
