LDS Priesthood Ordinances

This app was created to assist priesthood holders in their assignments. As they review these ordinances regularly, they'll be better prepared to fulfil their responsibilities.

Excerpt from the Church's handbook of instructions:
"An ordinance is a sacred act, such as baptism, that is performed by the authority of the priesthood. The ordinances of baptism, confirmation, Melchizedek Priesthood ordination (for men), [ etc, ...] are required for exaltation for all accountable persons. These are called the saving ordinances. As part of each saving ordinance, the recipient makes covenants with God.

Performance of a saving ordinance requires authorization from a priesthood leader who holds the appropriate keys or who functions under the direction of a person who holds those keys. Such authorization is also required for naming and blessing a child, dedicating a grave, [etc, ...] and preparing, blessing, and passing the sacrament. Melchizedek Priesthood holders may consecrate oil, administer to the sick, give father’s blessings, and give other blessings of comfort and counsel without first seeking authorization from a priesthood leader."

P.S. Comments shown in square brackets were added to summarise the description, and make it more relevant to the ordinances included in the app.
