Ordination to the priesthood and\/or religious life is a call and a gift from God. Jesus entrusted the mission of the Church to his Apostles through the laying of hands, and that entrustment is still passed down today. Those who feel a calling from God to pursue their vocation as a priest, deacon, or part of a religious order should talk with a pastor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
