This morning, the Holy Father appointed Msgr. Donald Bolen, a priest of the Archdiocese of Regina, and until most recently, Vicar General of that Archdiocese, as Bishop of Saskatoon (SK).
The Archdiocese of Saskatoon has been vacant (without a bishop) since His Excellency, Albert LeGatt was transferred to the Archdiocese of Saint Boniface (MB) on September 21 of this year.
With this appointment, there is only one vacant diocese in Canada, although to be sure, Yarmouth is under the pastoral care of the Archbishop of Halifax, so there are only a number of requests for Auxiliary Bishops yet to be tended to.
