We believe that bishops, priests, and deacons are uniquely configured to Christ, the High Priest, and act in His Name.  Therefore, ordination is not merely a graduation from seminary, but rather a special Sacrament instituted by Jesus for the good of the Church.  Only a bishop may ordain.   If a man believes he is called to the permanent diaconate or to the priesthood, we encourge him to contact one of our priests.   

Please pray for vocations to Holy Orders.  For more information, please visit pghpriest.com.
