Some 150 men of all ages gathered March 13-14 at the Cathedral of the Holy Family in Saskatoon for a Catholic men’s spiritual enrichment event.

Dubbed “Into the Breach 2,” the men’s event continued a focus from last year on themes taken from an apostolic exhortation to Catholic men written by Bishop Thomas J. Olmstead of the Diocese of Phoenix: Into the Breach.

Speakers at the 2020 conference included André Regnier, co-founder of Catholic Christian Outreach, and Bishop Mark Hagemoen of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon.

The event included talks, opportunities for prayer, for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and celebration of the Eucharist to conclude the event March 14.

After Mass a Knights of Columbus exemplification to initiate more than 20 new members was also held, using a new, public form of the ceremony.
