Mass of Ordination to the Diaconate

The Archdiocese of Seattle joyfully announces the ordination of Evan MacKenzie, Richard Ordos, and Fred Tucker to the diaconate. The Mass takes place on Saturday, November 14, 2026 at 10:00 am at St. James Cathedral in Seattle.

It is with gratitude that we invite you to celebrate the ordination of these three seminarians. This important step in their priestly formation calls them more deeply into a life of service through the Word, the liturgy, and charity as they continue their preparation for ordination to the priesthood.

Please join us in prayer for these men as they take this significant step in responding to God’s call.

ARCHDIOCESE OF SEATTLE PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS

God our Father,
You call each of us
to use our gifts in the Body of Christ.

Inspire your people
with desire to know you,
the grace to understand your will,
and, with the strength of the Holy Spirit,
the courage to respond
with love and freedom.

Send workers into your great harvest
so that the Gospel is preached, the poor
are served with love, the suffering are comforted,
and your people are strengthened by the sacraments.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
