All people are welcomed and encouraged in discerning their various ministries!

This section is your gateway to exploring ordained ministry in the Episcopal Church.  You’ll find here the Holy Orders Handbook of the Diocese of Minnesota, accompanying checklists and forms, links to necessary resources, including the national Episcopal Church Ministry Canons (Title III) which are the heart of the Minnesota process for discernment of call and ordination.

The website will be updated periodically, offering additional resources for people in discernment and for people making the journey to ordination.  Each time the website is updated there will be a notification on this page announcing the updates with the effective dates.

Questions regarding the website or any of the materials presented here may be addressed to the Coordinator of Vocations at 1-800-596-3839 or 612-871-5311.

Peace be to you, and know that all people are welcomed and encouraged in discerning their various ministries in the Episcopal Church.
