Holy Orders
“When a presbyter (priest) is to be ordained, the bishop shall impose his hand upon his head, while the presbyters touch the one to be ordained; and the bishop shall speak after the fashion of those things (to ordain a bishop),praying and saying:
God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, look upon this your servant and grant him the Spirit of grace and the counsel of a presbyter, so that he may support and govern your people with a pure heart.” The Apostolic Tradition by St. Hippolytus,215AD
We call for prayer for all holy priests who serve with courage and honor. We boldly ask God for an increase of vocations, because our priests teach and heal and consecrate Eucharist in our midst by the power of the Holy Spirit at the word of their Lord who called them to it. The Archdiocese of Louisville handles the ordination of priests.
