The US [[Episcopal Church]]'s Presiding Bishop ordained him a deacon in February 1949 in Virginia and six months later Mexico's Bishop, [[Efrain Salinas y Velasco]], ordained him priest, in Cuernavaca, Morelos, where in 1953 he organized and founded the first English speaking parish of the diocese (Saint Michael and All Angels). He was in charge of the pastoral and sacramental functions of the missions in the towns of Alpuyeca, Galeana, Jojutla y Alejandra, all in the Mexican state of Morelos. In autumn 1957 Saucedo was appointed missionary bishop to Mexico by the bishops of the US Episcopal Church. He was consecrated on January 14 1958 at age 34. He was the youngest bishop to have ever attended any [[Lambeth Conference]]. As bishop he promoted missionary work in places lacking other churches. He implemented an aggressive program of infrastructure building, erecting churches, rectories, boarding schools and future diocesan centers in Mexico City, in the States of Morelos and Veracruz and a seminary in Mexico City. <ref> Vida Anglicana — vida y obra del obispo jose guadalupe; September, 2009</ref> |

In the face of increasing anxieties over the ordination of women to the priesthood and the liturgical revisions of the 70's, Saucedo played a decisive role in convening US bishops in Oaxtepec, from October 13 through October 18 1974 in an attempt to bridge deepening divisions among traditionalist and liberal bishops.<ref> 97 Bishops Approve Women's Ordination in Principle Diocesan Press Service.
