Cathedral of St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception and St. Ann Church 

Holy Orders is the Sacrament through which men are set apart as leaders and become presiders over the sacramental life of the Church.  No one has the power to decide whether to be ordained.  The Diocese, through its Bishop, makes the final decision to call someone to ordination.

Because ordination is intimately connected with the Church's life and mission, the Diocese has established policies and guidelines for those who wish to be ordained as priests.  Anyone who believes God may be calling him to become a priest is encouraged to talk with any priest.
