Did you Know? (Sunday, June 23, 2019)
Ordination, (like Baptism and Holy Eucharist) is a sacramental rite that evolved in the Church under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Ordination is the rite in which God gives authority and the grace of the Holy Spirit to those being made bishops, priests and deacons, through prayer and the laying on of hands by the bishops.
