World Day of Consecrated Life
February 2, 2025 @ 11:00 am – 12:30 pm
Bishop Mark Hagemoen will celebrate Mass at 11 a.m., Sunday, Feb. 2 at the Cathedral of the Holy Family, 123 Nelson Road, Saskatoon, to mark the World Day of Consecrated Life, which is held each year on the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, also known as “Candlemas”.
The celebration will include prayers 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 .
Pope 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 women and men, around the world and in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon!
