The Catholic priesthood is in its essence the sacramental representation of Jesus Christ, the head and shepherd of the Church. Through the sacrament of Holy Orders, priests are configured in a special way to Christ, enabling them to act in the person of Christ the Head. This special character imprinted on priests allows them to carry out essential functions within the Church, such as offering sacrifice to God and administering the sacraments. The priesthood is not merely a human institution but has been divinely establishment by Christ Himself, who appointed the apostles to continue His saving mission on earth.
If you believe that God is calling you to the Sacrament of Holy Orders, please speak to Fr. Matt. (402) 494-5423.
