In the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon, Bishop Mark Hagemoen will celebrate a special Mass for the World Day of Youth at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 24 at the Cathedral of the Holy Family, starting with a procession with the Diocesan World Youth Day Cross, with Mass followed by testimonies by young adults and a social gathering.
Everyone is welcome, with a special invitation to young adults 18 to 35 years to come and “Rejoice in Hope!” (Youth Ministry and Vocations are supported by gifts to the BAA.)
The Solemnity of Christ the King, which concludes the Church Year, has been designated as a World Youth Day celebration in dioceses around the world.
Pope Francis writes about the World Day of Youth: “Last year we set out on the path of hope towards the Great Jubilee by reflecting on Saint Paul’s words, “Rejoice in hope” (Rom 12:12). In order to prepare ourselves for the Jubilee pilgrimage of 2025, this year we can take inspiration from the prophet Isaiah, who says: “Those who hope in the Lord… will run and not be weary” (Is 40:31).”
