Fr. Matthew Ramsay was appointed pastor of St. Michael Parish, Tramping Lake, SK, and St. Peter Parish, Unity, SK, earlier this summer, with the appointment marked by special prayers of installation led by Bishop Mark Hagemoen on World Mission Sunday, Oct. 20, 2024.
The bishop endeavours to celebrate the optional liturgy during Sunday Mass at parishes across the diocese who have recently welcomed a new pastor.
The installation prayers led by the bishop reflect prayerfully on the role of the pastor, highlighting the priest’s sacramental ministry through a series of prayers at different spots throughout the church building: the altar, the ambo, the tabernacle, the baptismal font, the entrance of the church, the confessional, and so on.
