Holy Orders

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

St. Charles parish is committed to fostering vocations to the priesthood, diaconate, and religious life, and prays for an increase in vocations prior to every Mass.  If you are interested in learning more about vocations, please click here to access the website for the Vocation Office of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis.
