Refugee Sponsorship Update: waiting list ended, new intake process introduced

By Kiply Lukan Yaworski | Enriching faith

End of the waiting list and introduction of a new Intake Process

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon has made the difficult decision to end its refugee sponsorship waiting list as of Dec. 31, 2019. The list became too long to be manageable. In the new climate for refugee sponsorship, it became impossible to fulfill it. We are sorry for any disappointment this may cause.

Getting your paperwork back

If you have given the Migration Office any application forms or other documents and would like to have them returned, please contact the office by e-mail (migration@rcdos.ca) or text (306-321-5956). Please give the full name of the person whose name is on the waiting list. We will contact you to tell you when you can pick up the forms. Any forms not picked up by Feb. 28, 2020 will be shredded.

What now?

The Migration Office now has an annual intake process for refugee sponsorships. If you wish to be considered for sponsorship spaces in 2020, please EMAIL us at migration@rcdos.ca on or after 1 January 2020. We will then contact you and get further information from you. Note: If you received sponsorship spaces from us in 2019, you will NOT be considered for spaces in 2020.

New refugee sponsorship requirements

Please note that to meet the new government requirements, and to promote greater fairness, the Diocese of Saskatoon’s sponsorship methods have changed.

We work with established church groups rather than family-linked co-sponsors. If you wish to propose a sponsorship, please approach a local Christian congregation or established community group and ask them to explore the possibility of partnering with you.
To be fair to the many communities who have refugees they want to sponsor, we now have a lifetime limit on how many people any one person or couple can sponsor. If you have already had many sponsorships through the diocese, you will not be considered for further spots.
To ensure that the refugee newcomers are provided for according to the government regulations, we require the funds for the sponsorship to be placed in trust at the time we submit the application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. Normally funds would be held in trust by the sponsoring Catholic parish. Where a non-Catholic parish or organization is the sponsoring group, the funds would be held by the diocese. Money held in trust is then paid directly to the refugee for start-up costs and monthly expenses by the parish or diocese as appropriate.

For further information, please contact the Migration Office BY EMAIL or TEXT ONLY. Email: migration@rcdos.ca. Text: 306-321-5956.

Video – Christmas message from Bishop Mark Hagemoen

By Kiply Lukan Yaworski | Bishop Mark Hagemoen's blog, Enriching faith

“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness– on them light has shined.” (Isaiah 9:2)

Bishop Mark Hagemoen reflects on the way that Jesus comes into our world, and what that means for us today in his 2019 Advent/Christmas message:

Dying Healed – walking with those who are suffering

By Kiply Lukan Yaworski | Enriching faith

A Dying Healed workshop will be held from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 23 at Sacred Heart Church Hall, 415 Lincoln Street, Davidson, SK. Cost: $15 includes lunch and workbook.

Dying Healed Workshops provide comprehensive education on palliative care/end of life issues and preliminary training for palliative and hospice care volunteers. Suitable for those wishing to provide compassion and support to those in need, particularly at end of life. Registration required for the Davidson workshop. Contact: Norma Dieno, (306) 567-8286 or (306) 567-3286 or e-mail: normadieno5@gmail.com The registration deadline is Nov. 15.

The Dying Healed workshop teaches important issues about human suffering, human dignity and the power of human presence, as well as other end of life issues.

The workshop includes important pastoral and practical aspects of what to say, how to listen, and how to be with people who suffer illness, disability and loneliness. It is intended to be a preparatory training for those who would like to spend time with people who are elderly, ill, disabled and dying; those people who are the most vulnerable to the negative influences to Canada’s euthanasia and assisted suicide law.

Those interested in hosting a Dying Healed workshop can contact Jacqueline Saretsky at (306) 292-5531 or Email jsaretsky@rcdos.ca for more information.

“Theological Formation – the Task, the Tension, the Hope” with Fr. Ron Rolheiser on Oct. 12

By Kiply Lukan Yaworski | Enriching faith

All are welcome to attend this Fall Gathering from 9 am to 4 pm Saturday, Oct. 12 at the Cathedral of the Holy Family in Saskatoon, as Fr. Ron Rolheiser, OMI, explores the evolution of faith formation for Catholic adults.

The Annual Fall Gathering is sponsored by the Lay Formation Alumni each fall, and is open to all.

Registration:

Cost is $40 before Oct. 7, or $50 after Oct. 7 (includes lunch). Register online (below). For more information call Blair at 306-260-4009. (Pre-registration is required in order to plan for lunch.)

Overview:

Forty years ago, many lay people began to study theology beyond the basic catechesis of their youth. Initially there was a lot of enthusiasm among laity and clergy alike, and a wonderful blossoming took place. Thousands of lay women and men became theologically and pastorally literate in a deeper way and began to do ministry within their parishes and dioceses. This is still happening, but in a situation where the task has changed, and new tensions have arisen. Yet the hope remains the same. This day will be a look at what the theological formation of laity involves today in terms of tasks, tension and hope.

Speaker:

Fr. Ron Rolheiser, OMI

Fr. Ron Rolheiser, OMI, is a Catholic priest and theologian, born and raised in Saskatchewan, who was a long-time popular presenter for the Lay Formation Program in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon — a program that this year has been re-named the Adult Faith Enrichment Program.

Fr. Rolheiser is a speaker, workshop leader, columnist, and writer on contemporary spirituality. He was born in Macklin, SK in 1947, one of the older children in a large family.

During and after his own studies, he taught theology and philosophy at Newman Theological College in Edmonton, AB.

He has served the religious community of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate as Provincial Superior of St. Mary’s Province (Canada), as Regional Councilor for Canada, serving on the General Administration of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, in Rome, for six years.
