Orders of Ministry
The ministry all Episcopalians have in common is our baptismal ministry. Therefore, the primary ministers of the church are lay people in their daily life and work.
- There are also the ordained vocations of bishops, priests and deacons.
- Bishops oversee the life of a diocese.
- Priests oversee the life of the congregations.
- Deacons oversee the church’s responsibility to the poor and needy.
- At St. Mary Magdalene there is a staff of two priests, Michael Houlik and Felicia SmithGraybeal, and one deacon, Rhoads Hollowell.
