Holy Orders/​Órdenes Sagradas

English

“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.” 

-¶ 1536 Catechism of the Catholic Church

Consecrated Life
While not a sacrament, consecrated life is a religious vocation in which men and women give their lives to Christ through the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. There are many religious communities in the Church.  Our priests at Mary, Mother of God are Conventual Franciscan Friars, members of an 800-year-old religious order founded by St Francis of Assisi.

Chicago has two religious orders unique to the Archdiocese:  The Canons of St. John Cantius and the Franciscans of the Eucharist of Chicago.

"El Orden Sagrado es el sacramento mediante el cual la misión confiada por Cristo a sus apóstoles sigue ejerciéndose en la Iglesia hasta el final de los tiempos: es, pues, el sacramento del ministerio apostólico. Comprende tres grados: episcopado, presbiterado y diaconado."

-¶ 1536 Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica

Vida Consagrada
Aunque no es un sacramento, la vida consagrada es una vocación religiosa en la que hombres y mujeres entregan su vida a Cristo mediante los votos de pobreza, castidad y obediencia. Hay muchas comunidades religiosas en la Iglesia.  Nuestros sacerdotes en María, Madre de Dios son Frailes Franciscanos Conventuales, miembros de una orden religiosa de 800 años de antigüedad fundada por San Francisco de Asís.

​Chicago tiene dos órdenes religiosas únicas en la Arquidiócesis:  Los Canónigos de San Juan Cancio y los Franciscanos de la Eucaristía de Chicago.
