The Eparchy of Saskatoon proudly announces the formal launch of a Diaconate Program. We encourage men interested in advancing their religious education and those willing to explore the possibility of another form of service to the people of God and the Ukrainian Catholic Church to apply.

The recently developed program consists of a minimum of four years of on-line academic studies, supplemented with occasional weekend study sessions, retreats, and practical activities within local parishes. Following a pre-screening process, qualified and approved candidates will be offered on-line through Newman Theological College (in Edmonton) starting in September 2025 and 3 “in-person” weekends per year.
