Presenters

Your ordination presenters are three representatives of the church at large, icons of God's presence around the ordinand. Each ordinand should have at least one lay person and one ordained person; it is expected that ordinands to the diaconate (transitional or vocational) invite a deacon to serve as one of their presenters.

Enter the number of banners you will have in the blank below, then add the names of banner bearers with email addresses.

Ordinands may wish to have banners from their congregations and seminaries, with a person to carry each banner. These are not strictly necessary but they make an ordination feel more connected to our churches, institutions, and seminaries. There are MANY spaces below to include banner bearers but most people just have one or two.

Hymn Requests

Note that music planning is guided by the Grace Cathedral music director, who invites requests, not all of which can be honored. If music is not in The Hymnal 1982, providing the title and tune name will make it easier to use.

The cathedral is pleased to provide vestments for your use in the ordination liturgy. Deacons may borrow a stole and dalmatic, and priests may borrow a stole and chasuble. If you have your own vestments, you are welcome to wear those. It's fine to mix and match (for example, you may bring your own stole if you have one and ask to borrow a dalmatic or chasuble). The liturgical color for ordinations is red.

Please come to the service dressed in clericals (a shirt and collar).

Indicate below what you wish the cathedral to provide.
