Photographer note reads, "This parish is almost totally Spanish, as is Wilmington. The stain glass windows for the sacraments are in Spanish. Inside was total awareness of 'sacred space'". This stained glass window depicting the "Orden Sacerdotal" is located along one of the walls at Holy Family Catholic Church, located at 1011 East "L" Street an the corner of Sanford Ave. in the city of Wilmington.; The Holy Order is one of the Sacraments of the Catholic Church. Also known as the Holy Mystery, this sacrament is conferred upon those who, having received a particular call from God and having discerned his priestly vocation to life, are found suitable for pastoral ministry. The candidate then, receives his Holy Order and is ordained as a bishop, priest, or deacon. Photo dated: September 2007.
