ministry

ministry
   This word (from the Latin ministerium, meaning "office" or "service") refers to service on behalf of the Church by both the ordained and nonordained. The New Testament speaks of various ministries within the Church; after the Second Vatican Council, laypeople have exercised a variety of ministries in the Roman Catholic Church. (See CCC 874-879)
