Through the Sacrament of Holy Orders, a man ordained by the bishop is given the grace and spiritual power to sanctify others through the administration of the Sacraments. Every priest and deacon who has ever served St. Therese began the same way: with a quiet sense that God might be calling, and the courage to ask.
Is God calling you?
A vocation rarely arrives with certainty. It usually begins as a persistent question, a pull toward the altar, a desire to give your life away for something greater. If that sounds familiar, the next step is not a commitment; it is a conversation.
