Holy Orders

“Only Christ is truly priest. But the others are his ministers.”
-St. Thomas Aquinas


The Lord Jesus calls some men from among the People of God to serve the Church as priests. When priests are ordained they receive the gift of the Holy Spirit through the laying on of hands and are thereby “set apart” to serve the People of God. Priests take vows of simplicity, obedience, celibacy and prayer to ensure they will be totally available to Christ and His Body the Church. Priesthood is truly a work of ultimate concern. “Priestly ordination is administered as a means of salvation, not for an individual man, but rather for the whole Church,” wrote Thomas Aquinas.

Do you believe the Lord is calling you? Fr. Robbie would be happy to speak with you about a vocation to the priesthood. He can be reached at rfavazza@saintphilipcc.org.

You are also encouraged to contact the Office of Vocations.
