About the Rite:

The rite of admission to candidacy for ordination as deacons and priests is celebrated when there is clear evidence that the aspirant's properly formed intention has sufficiently matured. Those who have made profession in a clerical religious institute are not bound to the celebration of this rite. The aspirants must make a public expression of the intention to receive holy orders.  The bishop gives the public acceptance of this intention.
