In Holy Orders, men are ordained as priests, deacons, or bishops. Priests serve as spiritual leaders of their communities, and deacons serve to remind us of our baptismal call to help others. Bishops carry on the teachings of the apostles. The signs of this sacrament are the laying on of hands and anointing with oil by the bishop.
If you or someone you know is interested in a vocation to the priesthood or religious life, feel free to contact Father Verespy or Father Fidel at the Parish Office at 570-823-7736 or visit the Diocese of Scranton's website for contact with the Diocesan Vocations Office.
