"The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest." Luke 10:2.

"Holy Orders is the sacrament through which the mission entrusted by Christ to his apostles continues to be exercised in the Church until the end of time: thus it is the sacrament of apostolic ministry.  It includes three degrees: episcopate, presbyterate, and diaconate." Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1536.

As a man considering a vocation to Holy Orders, please spend a few minutes watching the following vocational video released by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops:

All men who are discerning a call to the sacrament of Holy Orders, diaconate or priesthood, should contact their pastor at the parish office (505) 892-1511.  After careful discernment with one's pastor, one may be referred to the bishop.  

For more information about the priesthood, the requirements, discernment, and other relevant questions one may have about this sacrament, please visit the Archdiocesian Vocations Office.
