"The ordained ministry occurs in three degrees of orders: bishop, priest and deacon. These ministries are essential for the life of the Church."
United States Catholic Catechism for Adults p.273
Before a man is admitted to the Sacrament of Holy Orders as a priest and/or deacon he is required to pursue graduate academic work. Please call the Parish Office at 440-729-9575 to talk with Deacon Bob Kovach about the Permanent Diaconate or with Father Chris Cox to talk about the priesthood.
