Biography
[edit]Murray Chatlain was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, on January 19, 1963.[1] He completed baccalaureate studies at the University of Saskatchewan and earned the M.Div. degree at St. Peter's Seminary in London, Ontario.
In 1987 Chatlain was ordained a priest for Diocese of Saskatoon; in subsequent years he served parishes in that diocese and within the Diocese of Mackenzie-Fort Smith.[2]
Pope Benedict XVI appointed Chatlain as coadjutor bishop of Mackenzie-Fort Smith in June 2007. Chatlain was consecrated in September of that year, and he succeeded Bishop Denis Croteau, O.M.I. as ordinary upon the latter's retirement in May 2008.[1]
Benedict XVI appointed Chatlain archbishop of Keewatin-Le Pas on December 6, 2012.[1] His installation as the sixth bishop of the Archdiocese took place on March 19, 2013, the same day as the inauguration in Vatican City of the reign of Pope Francis.[3]
Chatlain has studied the Dene aboriginal language and is a member of the Canadian Catholic Aboriginal Council and Co-Chair of Our Lady of Guadalupe Circle, an Indigenous Catholic Coalition.[4]
Chatlain was appointed Archbishop of Winnipeg on December 30, 2024.[5] He is expected to be installed "in late March or early April" of the following year.[6]
