Holy Orders
 

"So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash another's feet….Very truly, I tell you, servants are not greater than their master, nor are messengers greater than the one who sent them." John 13: 12-17

The Sacrament of Holy Orders is reserved for those who are entering the ministerial priesthood to serve the faithful. That includes Bishops, Priests, and Deacons. They receive special gifts to share the sacraments with the faithful. Holy Orders is a sacrament through which a person dedicates his
life to God.

To explore the Catholic priesthood in the Diocese of Scranton with information, prayer ideas, and opportunities for further discernment go to  Vocations.

Gate of Heaven parish is a faith community of catholic believers who are baptized into union with the one holy catholic and apostolic church. We worship God through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, led by the Holy Spirit and who propagate the faith and serve others, faithful to the teaching of the church. As a parish, we invite all to come and be welcome among us.
