priests help us celebrate the 7 sacraments and are part of the hierarchy or basic structure of the Church
Without any priests, brothers, or nuns the word of God, and the teachings of Christ for Catholics would not exist. For it is Priests alone who can administer Holy Communion the center of Catholic faith. There would also be no people solely dedicated to living for God, and preaching the word of God which is part of the mission of the Catholic Church. Also without priests there would be no Catholic Church, with brothers and sisters becoming more so the missionary's for God whereas priests mostly remain in a parish.
The Russian Orthodox Church does not ordain priests.
In the Catholic Church, priests are celibate, therefore this question does not apply to the Catholic Church.
People who serve in the Church but are not priests, brothers, or sisters are often referred to as "laypeople" or "laypersons." They play various roles within the Church, including catechists, ministers, and volunteers, contributing to the community's spiritual and organizational needs. Laypeople can also participate in liturgical functions and other church activities, helping to support the mission of the Church.
Priests will be priests: belong to the clergy, ministers of a Christian Church.
Mission Santa Clara de Asís was built by Native American Ohlone people under the supervision of Franciscan priests. The priests oversaw the construction of the mission, while the Ohlone provided the labor and skills needed to build the church and surrounding structures.
Orthodox priests could marry, Catholic priests could not.
Mission Santa Clara had a church, living quarters for the priests and Native Americans, a granary, workshops, a cemetery, and a garden. The buildings were constructed with adobe bricks and redwood.
In Mission Santa Clara, priests typically slept in rooms known as cells or quarters located within the mission complex. These cells were usually simple, small rooms with basic furnishings such as a bed, a desk, and a chair. The priests would use these rooms for resting and personal prayer, as well as for studying and writing. The cells were often located near the mission church or the priest's office for convenience.
The Catholic Church built the missions and still hold services today at missions. The priests lived there with mission Native Americans and 5-6 soldiers stationed at each mission.
The apostles were the first priests and bishops of the Catholic Church.
In the Catholic Church, bishops are responsible for ordaining priests.
