Why we need to Rest in God on Sunday: “As God, who made all things, did not rest in those things … but rested in Himself from the created works … so we too should learn not to regard the works as the goal, but to rest from the works in God Himself, in whom our happiness lies.”
– St. Thomas Aquinas
“The Cross is the way of Paradise, but only when it’s borne willingly.”
– St. Paul of the Cross
St. Paul’s Co-Cathedral is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon, SK. In recent time it has grown to become a young and fervent community looking to rekindle traditional Catholicism in light of recent Ecumenical Councils by making this parish the focal point of their lives.
We are an icon of the Church Catholic – every continent, every age, and every stage shines in the faces of this People of God. There is a strong core of parishioners who have continued to welcome new immigrants, build relationships with the residents of the downtown, and reach out in service to the city core. These are our precious elders. We are anchored in daily the worship of God in Holy Mass, the celebration of God’s mercy in Reconciliation, in being a centre for prayer, and in living as a community of care.
All are welcome to this holy place of prayer and faith in God. No pretenses here – this is a community that strives- with the heart of our Patron, Paul of Tarsus, Saint of the Inner City – “to please everyone in everything we do, not seeking our own advantage, but that of many, so that they may be saved” (1 Cor. 10:33). We look forward to you journeying with us as we all humbly approach Christ Jesus through His most Holy Sacrifice on the altar and are impelled to bring His Love into our families, our city, and our world.
Fr. Stefano Penna – Rector
Renovations

Of Dogs and Children – and the Wild Wideness of God’s Love
Praise be Jesus Christ. Carissima Familia, my dearest family, happy feast of Our Lady of the Snows. Today we meet a tenacious woman, a mother bear. Her daughter is sick with a demon. And though she is a Canaanite, and knows what the Jews think of people who aren’t Jewish, who are outside of the…

Guardian Angels Sifting the Good from the Bad
Praise be Jesus Christ. Carissima Famiglia. “Blessed are those whose help is in the God of Jacob”. Not the God of the philosophers, as Pascal would say, not the indifferent God who just clicks the world on and lets it go on its merry way without any involvement. Rather, the God of Jacob who wrestled…

Tears
Carissima Familia, “let my eyes run down with tears night and day and let them not cease”. (Jer. 14:17-18) In the middle of the glory of summer, Holy Church gives us the sound that puts things into perspective.

Carissima famiglia, praise be Jesus Christ. Now and forever. He speaks to us. “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given… Blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear”. This Gospel is the most wonderful…

Finding Rest in Christ’s Yoke Praise be Jesus Christ. Carissima Famiglia—my dearest family, my dear ones—”to whom the Son has chosen to reveal the Father”. That’s the first word from today’s Gospel. Hidden from others who are wise in the eyes of the world, we—infants, who, even if we’re really, really brilliant—don’t know a whole…
