The Diocese of Saskatoon is a diocese of the Ecclesiastical Province of the Northern Lights of the Anglican Church of Canada. Its territory is a band across the middle of the province of Saskatchewan.[2] It was separated from the Anglican Diocese of Saskatchewan in 1933. The motto of the diocese is Sursum Corda - Lift up your hearts, a phrase from the service of Holy Communion. The cathedral church is St. John the Evangelist, built in 1912. Many rural parishes are multi-point charges.
