Catholic AnswerThe actual ceremony of Ordination is always contained in a Mass, and occurs after the homily. The candidates are invited forward, and presented to the congregation. Then they lay prostrate on the floor as the congregation chants the Litany of the Saints. They are then presented to the ordaining Bishop, who prays over then, imposes his hands on them, and gives them symbols of their Office (either deacon, priest, or bishop). They are then vested in their new Order and the Mass continues with the newly ordained taking part according to their new role. (This may not be in exactly the right order, I'm doing this from memory).
