Head of the world-wide Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church, His Beatitude, the Most Rev. Sviatoslav Shevchuk presided at the joyful celebration of the Nomination (Jan. 19), Consecration (Jan. 20), and Installation of a new bishop for the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Saskatoon. Bishop Michael Smolinski, CSsR, is the sixth bishop of the Eparchy that includes the entire province of Saskatchewan.
The celebrations and the visit of the Patriarch were particularly moving as the leader prayed for and with the new bishop and the entire community, and as he noted the vibrancy of the Ukrainian Catholic Church in Saskatchewan, while calling for continued prayers and support for the suffering Church in Ukraine, besieged by war.
A bishop comes home
Bishop Michael Smolinski, CSsR, who was born and raised in Saskatoon and attended local Catholic schools, was ordained a priest in 2003 and served in Edmonton, Winnipeg and Saskatoon before his most recent appointment as provincial superior of the Redemptorist Province of Canada in November 2022. Pope Francis announced his appointment as the sixth bishop of the Ukrainian Cathoic Eparchy of Saskatoon on Nov. 30, 2022.
Among the bishops participating in the enthronment of the new bishop were Metropolitan of Canada Lawrence Huculak, OSBM, Archbishop of the Archeparchy of Winnipeg, who has been serving as apostolic administrator of the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Saskatoon; previous Eparchial Bishop Most Rev. Bryan Bayda, who was appointed bishop of the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Toronto and Eastern Canada in April 2022; and Bishop Emeritus Most Rev. Michael Wiwchar, who retired in 2008.

Great Vespers and Episcopal Nomination
The nomination decrees naming the new bishop and Bishop Smolinski’s profession of faith were part of the evening Vespers held Jan, 19, 2024 at the Ukrainian Catholic Church of the Dormiton of the Mother of God in Saskatoon.
It was noted that Bishop Michael Smolinski receives the episcopal ministry at a time when war is ranging in the homeland of the Mother Church in Ukraine, the impact of which has reached the Saskatoon Eparchy: “Your Excellency, pray that the Lord will grant us a just peace. Take care of the many refugees who, fleeing death, have found themselves in the territory of your diocese.”

Episcopal Consecration
Metropolitan Archbishop Lawrence Huculak, Bishop Bryan Bayda, Bishop Emeritus Michael Wiwchar, and Ukrainian Catholic and Roman Catholic bishops from across western Canada joined Patriarch Sviatoslav Shevchuk for the Episcopal Consecration of Bishop Smolinski on Saturday morning, Jan. 20 at Sts. Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church — the same church where the new bishop was baptized, ordained a priest, and served as pastor and associate pastor.
In his homily, His Beatitude Sviatoslav said that the Episcopal Consecration is a moment of unity for the Mother Church in Ukraine and the priests, clergy, and laity in Canada: “The birth of a new Ukrainian bishop in Canada is a beacon of hope for the entire Ukrainian people, who today are paying the highest price for freedom and the very right to exist in their native land.”

“At the beginning of the rite, a papal bull was read aloud, in which the Holy Father conveyed his embrace to the Ukrainian Church in Saskatoon, expressing his desire to appoint Father Michael Smolinski as its bishop. Afterward, Bishop Michael Kwiatkowski, Eparch of New Westminster, and Bishop David Motiuk, Eparch of Edmonton, read in Ukrainian and English the Decree of the Head of the UGCC on the proclamation of Fr. Michael Smolinski as Bishop of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and the Decree naming him Eparchial Bishop of the Saskatoon Eparchy for Ukrainians (Canada).” – UGCC news item

Episcopal Installation
In a joyful celebration Sunday morning, Jan. 21, 2024 at the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral of St. George in the heart of Saskatoon, the newly-consecrated Bishop Michael Smolinski was officially installed and enthroned as the sixth bishop of the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Saskatoon.
Patriarch Shevchuk prayed that the new bishop would be an icon of Christ in his new role as the shepherd of the Ukrainian Catholic Church across the province of Saskatchewan.
At the conclusion of the celebration, Bishop Smolinski expressed his gratitude and profound thanks to the Patriarch, to his fellow bishops, his Redemptorist confreres, clergy, religious, laity, those who assisted in the celebrations and all in attendance at the celebrations throughout the weekend.

Bishop Mark Hagemoen joined residents and guests at St. Angela Merici Residence Jan. 27 to celebrate the memorial of the saint who founded the Ursuline order of consecrated religious women.

The feast day celebration at St. Angela Merici Residence began with Mass concelebrated by Bishop Hagemoen and Fr. Ken Beck.
Lector for the celebration of the Eucharist was Sr. Ludvina Scheck, OSU; cantor was Director of Spiritual Care and Mission Judy Gatin; with music ministry led by Sr. Teresita Kambeitz, OSU, and prayers of the faithful by Sr. Louisa Brost, OSU.
Following Mass, a mural describing the history and the ministry of the Ursulines of Prelate was dedicated.
The St. Angela Merici faith-based residence — established by the Ursulines in Saskatoon and now operated by Emmanuel Care — was named in honour of the saint who started the Company of St. Ursula in 1535, an order dedicated to education. The Ursulines of Prelate were established in St. Joseph’s Colony (now the western portion of the diocese of Saskatoon) more than 100 years ago, beginning with three sisters from Germany – Mother Clementia Graffelder, Mother Luitgardis Kratochwill, and Sister Thekla Bonus, who came to establish schools at the invitation of Fr. Joseph Riedinger, OMI.
During the dedication celebration on the Feast of St. Angela, Sr. Anne Lewans, OSU, provided an overview of St. Angela Merici Residence and the mural project.

“This personal care home was originally built in 1986 as a retirement home for the Ursuline Sisters. It was named after our foundress, St. Angela Merici,” said Lewans. “Over the years since then, there have been many changes and some significant transformations.”
She noted that in 1986, when this residence was opened, the Sisters in residence were still quite able, with some still engaged in volunteer ministry in the community. “As years passed the needs of the resident Sisters were changing…until in 2000 we hired the first care aides. Gradually, more lay staff were added in all departments – care of the Sisters, food services, maintenance and management.”
In 2017, a Personal Care Home license was granted for the facility to operate according to Saskatchewan Health Authority Policies, and receive residents other than Ursuline Sisters. “Two years later, in 2019, we acted on a decision our community had made in 2015.. …to transfer ownership and management of St. Angela Merici Residence to Emmanuel Care – the Catholic Health Corporation of Saskatchewan. This transfer was celebrated January 6, 2020 – just before the pandemic was declared.”
As part of the transfer of ownership, the Ursulines of Prelate began the process of finding homes for museum artifacts located in a Heritage Room in the building. “It was decided to dismantle the Heritage Room and donate its contents to schools, parishes and organizations that would use them to continue our mission of ‘Educating for Life.’ This was a major task, and was completed just a few months ago,” said Lewans.
“In order to preserve our story and some of the more valuable artifacts of the Ursuline Sisters, we asked and received permission from Anne Miller, Executive Director of St. Angela Merici Residence, to create the display you see before you,” explained Lewans, noting the “time, effort and love” that the leadership team put into planning the display.
“The mural is a brief history of our Ursuline Congregation, and the cabinet of artifacts contains tangible items that illustrate part of that history” she said. “It certainly is appropriate for us to dedicate it today on the feast of St. Angel Merici who is both the foundress of the Ursuline Order and also the patron saint of this residence.

Lewans also acknowledged the work of professional designer Deanna Miller who helped the Ursulines of Prelate leadership team design the mural. “Thank you very much Deanna; we could not have done this without you! I also acknowledge the practical work of 77 Signs, the company that printed and installed the mural and did the necessary carpentry work.”

By Bishop Mark Hagemoen, Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon
Dear Clergy, Religious, and Lay Faithful of the Diocese of Saskatoon:
The day of prayer for Reverence for Life will be celebrated in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon on Sunday, January 28, 2024, providing our faith communities with an opportunity for prayers, reflection and discussion about the value of the precious gift of human life.
This past year has featured terrible conflicts in many parts of the world, including the terrible wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. I continue to hear from many that our current world affairs highlight both the fragility and strength of human life. In these times of reflecting on the prayer of St. Francis, “Lord, make me a channel of your peace,” we continue to hear this prayer in terms of the care of the vulnerable, and especially with regards to the protection and care for the unborn, our elders, and critically ill in our communities.
SINS AGAINST HUMAN LIFE CONTRIBUTES TO AN UNCARING & UTILITARIAN CULTURE
Canada continues to deal with the tragic repercussions of the removal of abortion from the Criminal Code. We now mark the 36th anniversary of the Supreme Court of Canada decision in the Morgentaler case on January 28, 1988, which removed all remaining restrictions on abortion in Canada. Incredibly applauded by many in our society, this moment in our nation’s history holds within it the tragic reality of millions of lost lives.
Victims of abortion include the unborn children who are killed, but also the mothers, fathers and families left wounded after an abortion. The community is also weakened and damaged as the weakest and most vulnerable among us are not valued and protected.
As the Canadian government continues to seek to expand access to doctor-assisted suicide, also known as Medical Aid in Dying or “MAiD” – the words of the Holy Father only a few years ago continue to ring prophetic:
“The victims of this [throwaway] culture are precisely the weakest and most fragile human beings – the unborn, the poorest, the sick and elderly, the seriously handicapped, etc. – who are in danger of being ‘thrown away’, expelled from a system that must be efficient at all costs.”
(See: +Francis’ Address to a Delegation from the Dignitatus Humanae Institute, Dec. 7, 2013)
During the Papal visit to Canada on his “Penitential Pilgrimage” for healing and reconciliation in July 2022, Pope Francis called on all Canadians and people of good will to dream and work for a future that is able to see the God-given dignity of all peoples, and gain inspiration from Indigenous people’s cherishing of the relationship between elders and youth. On the feast day of Saints Joachim and Ann, he implored these grandparents of Our Lord to help us treasure the presence of our elders in order to create a better future:
“…a future in which the elderly are not cast aside because, from a ‘practical’ standpoint, they are ‘no longer useful’. A future that does not judge the value of people simply by what they can produce. A future that is not indifferent to the need of the aged to be cared for and listened to. A future in which the history of violence and marginalization suffered by our indigenous brothers and sisters is never repeated. That future is possible if, with God’s help, we do not sever the bond that joins us with those who have gone before us, and if we foster dialogue with those who will come after us. Young and old, grandparents and grandchildren, all together. Let us move forward together, and together, let us dream.”
(See +Francis’s presentation at Commonwealth Stadium, Edmonton, July 26, 2022.)
This statement reminds me of the Holy Father’s call several years ago to continue the steady work to turn our culture from one of convenience and short-sightedness, to a cultural movement that seeks – through good-will and honest reflection – the realization of a truly human culture.
(+Francis’s speech to Dignitatis Humanae Institute Dec. 7, 2013)
INCOMPATIBILITY OF ‘CARE FOR CREATION’ with ABORTION & EUTHANASIA
Pope Francis continually highlights that respect for creation and for human dignity are issues that are only realized together. As he states in his 2023 Apostolic Exhortation Laudate Deum:
“Everything is connected …no one is saved alone” (#19)
“… our admiration at progress blinded us to the horror of its consequences. But that risk is always present, because “our immense technological development has not been accompanied by a development in human responsibility, values and conscience… We stand naked and exposed in the face of our ever-increasing power, lacking the wherewithal to control it.” (#24)
“To recognize… that human life is incomprehensible and unsustainable without other creatures. As part of the universe… all of us are linked by unseen bonds and together form a kind of universal family, a sublime communion which fills us with a sacred, affectionate and humble respect.” (#67)
[See: Laudato Deum, October 4, 2023]
The Gospel’s moral and social teaching calls on all people of good will to bring to bear intellectual, social, and political consciousness on the blatant inconsistency that is affecting the well-being and flourishing of human cultures through our world. As Pope Francis states:
“It is necessary to raise awareness and form the lay faithful, in whatever state, especially those engaged in the field of politics, so that they may think in accord with the Gospel and the social doctrine of the Church and act consistently by dialoguing and collaborating with those who, in sincerity and intellectual honesty, share – if not the faith – at least a similar vision of mankind and society and its ethical consequences.
(See: +Francis’ Address to a Delegation from the Dignitatus Humanae Institute, Dec. 7, 2013)
This effort is at the service of every person on the planet! If we do not engage in calling each other to a greater and fuller humanity, we should then not be surprised at the larger deterioration of a culture of human care and respect.
THE LOSS OF HEART
Current advances in science, genetics and embryology clearly show the distinct humanity of each unborn child, which comes into existence at conception. Each new, distinct human person shares the fundamental human right to life that we as Canadians celebrate and support on so many other fronts.
Failing to recognize that right has left our country damaged – not only in the missing and lost lives of millions of unborn children – but also in removing ‘the heart’ from our society. Devaluing human life at any age or stage has inexorably led to the legalization and growing acceptance in our country of euthanasia and assisted suicide: our lives seem to cease to have meaning and value as we face the fear of not being ‘useful’, or that we are a ‘problem’ to those on whom we rely for care.
The ‘loss of heart’ is also the root cause of so many other evils in our midst, including: discrimination, injustice and racism, violence, poverty and hunger, debilitating addiction. It also contributes to the problem of indifference towards those outside my own immediate circle of concern. The recovery of heart will be a very important feature in the coming times – as we work towards the goals of healing and reconciliation with Indigenous and all peoples. The recovery of heart must also contribute to finding true and lasting pathways for a true peace – not a superficial peace that removes us from caring for and being engaged with one another.
Sisters and brothers, let us respond to loss of heart by holding steady to the hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ: the Sacred Heart for our world. I bring you this message on the memorial of the first woman saint of Canada, St. Marguerite Bourgeoys (Jan. 12) – who dedicated her life and religious community to care and education children and youth of all races and creeds – especially those dealing with poverty and other disadvantages. Let us join in our common prayer for Reverence for Life on January 28, and throughout this year.
Sisters and Brothers, we pray that as a people and nation we may re-discover our heart!
Yours in Christ
Most Reverend Mark A. Hagemoen

Prayer:
Almighty God, giver of all that is good,
we thank you for the precious gift of human life:
For life in the womb, coming from your creative power,
For the life of children, making us glad with their freshness and promise,
For the life of young people, hoping for a better world,
For the life of people who are disabled, teaching us that every life has value,
For the life of the elderly, witnessing to the ageless values of patience and wisdom.
Like Blessed Mary, may we always say “yes” to Your gift.
Help us to realize the sacredness of human life and to respect and cherish it from conception to its natural end.
And bring us at last, O Father, to the fullness of eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.
AMEN
Prière
Dieu Tout-Puissant, donateur de tout ce qui est bon, nous te remercions pour le don précieux de la vie humaine:
Pour la vie dans le sein maternel, provenant de ton pouvoir créatif,
Pour la vie des enfants, nous rendant heureux de leur fraîcheur et de leur promesse,
Pour la vie des jeunes, espérant pour un monde formidable,
Pour la vie des personnes qui sont handicapées, nous apprenant que toute vie a de la valeur,
Pour la vie des personnes âgées, témoignant des valeurs intemporelles de patience et de sagesse.
Comme la bienheureuse Marie, puissions-nous toujours dire “oui” à Ton don.
Aide-nous à réaliser le caractère sacré de la vie humaine, à la respecter et à la chérir de la conception à sa fin naturelle.
Et amène-nous enfin, ô Père, à la plénitude de la vie éternelle en Jésus-Christ notre Seigneur
AMEN

In December, St. Mary Parish in Saskatoon opened the doors of its hall on 20th Street West as an overnight warm-up location, in partnership with the Salvation Army and with federal government funding.
Since Dec. 4, 2023, the warm-up location has been open at St. Mary’s hall from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. seven nights a week. With life-threatening frigid temperatures, the importance of having an overnight warm up location is more important than ever.
