In practice, the first office in the Priesthood, that of Deacon, is conferred on boys twelve years of age or over; and on mature men, recently converted to the Church. When the boy or man has proved himself faithful, he is ordained successively to the higher offices in the Priesthood. Thus the Church provides progressive experience and advancement for those holding the Priesthood … Men may, of course, be ordained to any office in the Aaronic Priesthood, irrespective of earlier ordination, but usually it is better to advance men in regular order through the various offices from Deacon to Priest.Share
