“The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.”
-Luke 10:2

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. (CCC 1536)
