Previous Announcements:

 

* The World Day of Consecrated Life is marked each year on Feb. 2, the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord. Bishop Mark Hagemoen will celebrate Mass at 11 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 2 at the Cathedral of the Holy Family, 123 Nelson Road, Saskatoon, praying for all consecrated religious women and men, with fellowship afterwards. Everyone is welcome to join in person at the Cathedral Feb. 2 or to pray live or later via live-stream video at https://saskatoonmass.com .

After Mass, there will be a time of fellowship in the hall.

Saint John Paul II instituted this day of prayer for women and men in consecrated life in 1997. The Feast of the Presentation is also known as Candlemass Day; a day on which candles are traditionally blessed, symbolizing Christ who is the light of the world. So too, those in consecrated life are called to reflect the light of Jesus Christ in our world. We thank God for the witness and service of consecrated men and women around the world and in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon!

To register, please contact the parish office: e-mail Jackie St Pierre at jstpierre@rcdos.ca or call (306) 373-3453. (lunch and refreshments will be provided). Everyone is welcome to the workshop at St. Augustine Catholic Church, 602 Boychuk Drive, Saskatoon.

Background: When confronted with a life-limiting diagnosis, we can find ourselves in an unfamiliar and even frightening situation. These moments are usually marked by having to make numerous practical decisions surrounding care and support for loved ones and ourselves. More often than not, such decisions require moral discernment through the lens of our faith. We believe in the dignity and sacredness of human life at all stages, from conception to natural death. At the same time, our faith does not demand that life is to be sustained at all costs. As Catholics, our faith in Jesus Christ has much to teach us about living and dying well. For more information about holding this workshop for your parish or group, please contact Jackie Saretsky in the diocesan Office of Hospital Chaplaincy: jsaretsky@rcdos.ca or (306) 659-5839.  (Hospital Chaplaincy is supported by gifts to the Bishop’s Annual Appeal).
