The
Sacrament of Holy Orders, also called the Sacrament of Ordination, is for
men to become priests.
This
sacrament was given to us by Jesus at the Last Supper. The first men who
received the power of priesthood were the apostles. The apostles passed on
that gift to
us.
A
man that wants to be a priest has to go to school for many years. After
that is done, he has a ceremony where he is ordained and he becomes a
priest.
A
priest is given special powers through ordination. He then can give us all
the sacraments. Priests are called in a special way to help us and to
preach the Word of God.
