Bishop Mark Hagemoen joined former parishioners, families and visitors Sunday, Aug. 11, 2024, for celebration of Mass at Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Church, located 12 kilometres east of Smuts, SK.
Now closed, the church building was constructed more than a century ago, in 1919. The annual summer Mass at the rural church is a homecoming for many, and includes the blessing of graves in the cemetery.
