* Synod on Synodality Implementing a SYNODAL WAY of Proclaiming Christ and God’s Kingdom Today – Synod Implementation in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon was launched Nov. 9 by Bishop Mark Hagemoen. Find more information at: https://rcdos.ca/syond

“Synodality is a process in the Catholic Church described as walking together through mutual listening, dialogue and discernment – wisely together using the gift of our human faculties to determine what God’s will for us is. And we don’t just do that personally, we do that together. It is a way that the Church’s members – the laity, priests, bishops – everybody  – participate in the Church’s mission and discern God’s will through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Synodality involves spiritual renewal and structural reform – in other words it affects structures and the way we organize things, – with the goal of helping the church be participatory and missionary.”

– Bishop Mark Hagemoen, Homily at closing Mass for Search retreat, Nov. 9, 2025
