Priesthood
In Holy orders, a man is called by God and
set aside by the church for ministry. Unmarried men in good standing
may apply to the diocese to study for Diocesan Priesthood (work in parishes
etc. in a Diocese) or as part of a religious order.

Women's & Men's Religious
Orders In vowed or professed religious life, men and women are
called by God to live in community or as part of a congregation living out a
specific charism, and through self-sacrifice and intense witness, are
reminders to the world of the need of prayer and to live faithfully the
Christian life. There are numerous orders and congregations, some
cloistered, others not, some living all together in one place, others spread
far and wide engaged in various ministries in the Church and world.
