Ordained Ministry:
Bishops
The highest ranked among our church’s ordained
ministers are the bishops.
When we consider these individuals, we probably
think of them in their role as ordinaries, that is, primary
administrators of our dioceses.
The essential power of the bishop, however, resides
in his ability to ordain deacons, priests, and other bish-
ops
We believe that our bishops are the successors of
the apostles and that the power to ordain has flowed in
an unbroken line from the apostolic era to our own
day.
In the early church, bishops were the usual liturgical
ministers. The priesthood and the diaconate devel-
oped out of the bishops’ need for help as the church
grew.

VOCATION AWARENESS
Facts about St. Vincent de Paul Seminary:
The Seminary is 48 years old, founded by
Vincentian Fathers and owned by the
Province of Florida. The primary purpose
of the Seminary is to provide a human,
spiritual and pastoral formation program
which prepares candidates for the Roman
Catholic priesthood.
- Currently there are 83 seminarians in
various stages of formation of which
15 are from the Archdiocese of Miami.
- Tuition, room, board, fees & diocesan
subsidies make up 66% of the cost to
run the seminary. Therefore the 34%
difference has to be made up by private
funding and endowment income.
- The local Serra Club is committed to
supporting St. Vincent de Paul Seminary
with financial gifts and a fundraising
dinner. Members make trips to the
seminary to meet our seminarians and
offer prayer & support.

Meikle at 954-946-2551.
