Sacraments at the Service of Communion: Holy Orders and Matrimony
The Sacraments at the service of Communion are those that Christ instituted for the service of God’s people and the entire human family. The first is the Sacrament of Holy Orders, by which the Church ordains men to serve as bishops, priests, or deacons. The second is Holy Matrimony, which calls a man and woman to the vocation of marriage and family life.
