June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a devotion that reminds us of the compassionate and merciful love of Christ for all people.

As Cardinal Frank Leo recently reflected, the Sacred Heart is “a school of compassion.” In the Gospels, we continually see Christ attentive to those who suffer, those who are forgotten, and those in need of healing and hope.

Across Canada’s mission dioceses, priests, religious, and lay leaders are called to reflect that same compassionate heart through their ministry and service to communities near and far.

This month, may we ask the Lord to form our hearts after His own Sacred Heart.

This past weekend, seminarians Lucas and Francesco travelled north with Fr. Janil to visit communities in the Diocese of Mackenzie-Fort Smith during the celebration of Corpus Christi.

Experiences like these help future priests encounter the realities of missionary life in Canada’s North. Distances, remote communities, challenging travel, and small Catholic populations all shape the life of the Church in mission dioceses.

CMIC supports many missions across the Diocese of Mackenzie-Fort Smith, helping priests and communities continue their ministry across one of the largest and most remote regions in the country.

Nearly a century after the Church of St. Nicholas in Uhrynow was built, the faithful still gather there for Divine Liturgy, prayer, fellowship, and the blessing of graves during the Pentecost season.

Mission churches like this remain an important part of Catholic life across rural Saskatchewan. Though many are only able to gather a few times each year, these communities continue to preserve their faith, traditions, and connection to the Church across great distances.

Catholic Missions In Canada supports the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Saskatoon as it serves missions and faith communities throughout the province.
