PRAYER FOR A NEW BISHOP Praise to you, Lord our God, our eternal shepherd and guide. In your faithfulness, grant to the
Diocese of Saskatoon a shepherd whose watchful care and kindly zeal will continue the good work
of his predecessors. In your love for us, give us a shepherd who will lead us in being Christ’s heart
of mercy, voice of hope, and hands of justice. May our new bishop fill our minds and hearts with the
truth of the Gospel, the power of the sacraments, and the desire to build up your holy Church. We
ask this through Jesus Christ, your Son and our Lord, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God,
forever and ever. Amen
Priests’ Pension and Retirement Fund - This weekend, our parishes take up a special collection
to support our Priests’ Pension and Retirement Fund. These contributions will help our retired

through liturgical and sacramental celebrations, teaching and preaching the Gospel, and upholding
the faith of the Church. If you have already made a gift to the Priests’ Pension and Retirement
Fund collection, please know how much we truly appreciate your support. You can give online at
www.dscatholicfoundation.ca or use the envelope handed out to you today. Many thanks!

How does a person become
Catholic? The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (commonly
known as the RCIA) is the normal way in which
adults become full, active, participating members of
the Catholic Church. People who go through this
process may be unbaptized, or may have already been baptized in another Christian Church, or
may be baptized Catholic but have not received the sacraments of Eucharist or Confirmation.
The process leading to full initiation follows four steps adapted to the particular needs and
concerns of those to be initiated. The initiation process help adults to grow in their relationship
with God, become familiar with Catholic teachings and practices, and get involved in service
within the parish or the wider community.
How someone comes to consider joining the Catholic Church is unique to each individual.
Years of marriage to a Catholic spouse, conversation with a Catholic friend or coworker,
something written or viewed in the media, questions from one’s children, a crisis, a search for
meaning in life - any of these can lead someone to explore the possibility of becoming Catholic.
If you are considering becoming Catholic, or know of someone who is interested, or wish more
information, please call Parish office: (306) 666-2043 or Email [email protected]
The Ministry of Sponsor In reaching out to those who have expressed a desire to become Catholic, the church wishes to
share its tradition, its life, its values, its prayers, its apostolic work. Because so much is
involved, it takes quite a while to pass on these traditions. As cradle Catholics, many of us take
all this for granted. The Christian Initiation process calls for each inquirer to have a sponsor.
Sponsors are active members of the parish community who serve as companions to the
inquirers.
What is involved in being a sponsor for someone who is being initiated into the Catholic
Church? You are paired up with an inquirer and attend weekly sessions with that person. You
extend, in a personal way, the parish community’s welcome and support. The joy and faith, the
personal stories, struggles, and insights of new members will renew your own faith and sense of
belonging to the church. As you share some of your own life and faith, you will uncover for
yourself new dimensions of being a Catholic Christian.
Parishes are always looking for sponsors. The ideal is to have a large sponsor pool so that
inquirers can be matched with someone of similar age, interests and life circumstances. Consider
volunteering for the ministry of sponsor in your parish! Please call Parish office: (306) 666-2043
