History
When the Diocese of Prince-Albert-Saskatoon was split on 9 June 1933, the Diocese of Saskatoon (Latin: Dioecesis Saskatoonensis) came into being as a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Regina. It lies in Saskatchewan, a civil province on the Canadian Prairies. Mark Hagemoen is the current bishop, taking office after Pope Francis named the previous bishop, Donald Bolen, Archbishop of Regina on July 11, 2016.
What is kept by invitation
The record above is published because it is public: what this see is, when it was erected, who holds its chair, and where it stands among its neighbours.
The working record is not. The chancery's address, telephone and email, the clergy of the see, and the hours of Mass, confession and adoration in the parishes within it are kept for members, and a person reads every request.
