The Sacrament of Holy Orders
			The Sacrament of Holy Orders, also called the Sacrament of Ordination, is for men to become priests.
This sacrament was given to us by Jesus at the Last Supper.  The first men who received the power of priesthood were the Apostles.  The Apostles passed on that gift to us. A man who wants to become a priest has to go to school for many years.  After that is done, he has the ceremony where he is ordained and becomes a priest. A priest is given special powers through ordination.  He then can give us all the sacraments.  Priests are called in a special way to help us and to preach the Word of God.
