Bishop Mark Hagemoen celebrated an opening Mass with the 2023 residents at the Sts. Benedict and Scholastica Formation house Sept. 17.
The Sts. Benedict and Scholastica Formation program in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon is designed for young adults who are pursuing an “academic and vocational pathway” in life.
This includes men discerning ordained priesthood as well as men or women discerning religious life or professional lay ecclesial ministry in the Catholic Church.
Program participants live in community and pursue academic studies while discerning their life’s vocation, obtaining spiritual formation while they obtain a degree.
Program coordinators are the Verbum Dei Missionary Sisters — Sr. Malou Tibayan, Sr. Marta Piano, and Sr. Mirasol Abala — working in conjunction with diocesan Vocation Co-Directors Fr. Colin Roy and Fr. Dan Yasinski.
Sts. Benedict and Scholastica Formation program includes spiritual and human formation, and community life at the residence near campus. (Submitted photo)
