Within the Catholic Church, there are various lay positions such as catechists, lectors, and extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion. These roles allow laypeople to actively participate in the Church's mission by spreading the teachings of the faith, proclaiming the Word of God, and assisting in the distribution of the Eucharist. By serving in these positions, lay members help to strengthen the community, deepen spiritual growth, and support the overall ministry of the Church.

In the Christian churches, holy orders are ordained ministries such as bishop, priest or deacon. In the Roman Catholic, Eastern Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Anglican, Assyrian, Old Catholic, Independent Catholic and some Lutheran churches, holy orders comprise the three ministerial orders of bishop, priest and deacon, or the sacrament or rite by which candidates are ordained to those orders. Other positions, such as pope, patriarch, cardinal, monsignor, archbishop, archimandrite, archpriest, protopresbyter, hieromonk, protodeacon and archdeacon, are not sacramental orders but particular ministry positions.

Every priest and deacon has been ordained by a Bishop in the Apostolic Succession. So the Catholic priest at the Catholic Church downtown can trace his ministry in a DIRECT line back to the Apostles.
