Priesthood ordination of out-of-unit member

Post by rchomskis »

Hello, we have one out-of-unit brother who turned 14 this week and we would like to ordain him to a teacher's office. Is it possible to ordain him since he is not from our branch and prepare ordination forms in our MLS system?

Handbook 1: 16.1.3 hints on that. I don't think you're going to be able to record the ordnance.

You should also carefully read the information in Handbook 1, 16.7.4.
