Bishop Hagemoen celebrates Mass for Catholic student leadership conference

Bishop Mark Hagemoen presided at Mass for hundreds of Greater Saskatoon Catholic School students during an annual leadership conference held Oct. 22 at the Cathedral of the Holy Family. The conference, themed “Called and Chosen,” brought together junior high delegates from across the school division for a day of prayer, training, and learning.

During the liturgy, which took place on the memorial of St. John Paul II, Bishop Hagemoen told the students that leadership involves community engagement and care for others rather than indifference. He encouraged the delegates to find meaning in their specific roles, noting that leadership begins with small actions. The bishop also described the example of Jesus Christ as a leader who walks alongside those he serves.
