Sacrament of Holy Orders
By divine institution, the sacrament of orders establishes some among the Christian faithful as sacred ministers through an indelible character which marks them.  They are consecrated and designated, each according to his grade, to nourish the people of God, fulfilling in the person of Christ the Head the functions of teaching, sanctifying, and governing.

Preparation

The diocesan bishop or the competent superior is to take care that before candidates are promoted to any order, they are instructed properly about those things which belong to the order and its obligations.

Signs and Symbols

The orders are the episcopate, the presbyterate, and the diaconate.  They are conferred by the imposition of hand and the consecratory prayer which the liturgical books prescribe for the individual grades.

Celebration

Ordination is to be celebrated within the solemnities of the Mass on a Sunday or holy day of obligation.  For pastoral reasons, it can take place also on other days, even weekdays.
