Religious Life
While not a sacrament, a life consecrated by the profession of poverty, chastity, and obedience and lived in community is a sign to the Church and world that our deepest human happiness is to be found in imitation of the serving life of Jesus.


Parishioners who sense a call from God to live as a member of a religious order are encouraged to visit the following web sites and to contact one of the Friars or Sister Joanna Walsh at 919-641-2476.

  • hnp.org/vocation 

Holy Orders
The Sacrament of Holy Orders (“ordination”) is conferred by a bishop on those called by the church to serve as deacons, priests or bishops. Ordained ministers serve as the church as visible signs of its vocation to be a community seeking to fulfill the prayer of Jesus that “they may be one;” to be a community of those “hear the word of God and keep it,” and a community sent into their homes, schools, and places of business to “wait on table.” 
  • ​Parishioners who sense a call from God to serve others as an ordained minister of the church should visit the vocation page for the Diocese of Raleigh and contact one of the Friars. 
  • Men considering a call to Franciscan life are encouraged to speak to any of the friars, or visit hnp.org/vocation.
