The Saskatchewan Catholic School Board Association Annual General Meeting Awards Banquet will held on Saturday in Moose Jaw and Msgr. Maurice Fiolleau will receive the Appreciation Award.

The Prince Albert Roman Catholic Separate School Board of Education nominated Fiolleau for the award last September in recognition of his service and leadership.

The SCSBA Appreciation Award is awarded each year to a person or persons in appreciation of their commitment and contribution to Catholic education.

“We have been so fortunate to have Msgr. Maurice serve our Catholic educational community. He has joyfully embraced his vocational call in many ways. He is a very deserving individual of this prestigious award,” Board Chair Suzanne Stubbs said in a statement.

Since 1991, Monsignor Fiolleau served the division’s schools, families, and broader community in countless roles—including Deacon, Priest, Vicar, Pastoral Assistant, Chaplain, and committee member of countless endeavors.

“His ministry has been a constant source of strength, encouragement, and inspiration to all whom he serves. He has recently been named Monsignor by Papal decree, an honor that reflects his faithful witness and distinguished service,” the board said in a statement.

Fiolleau has also served on numerous committees such as Sacramental Preparation, Diocesan Pastoral Council Coordinator, DPCE Monitor, and Pilgrimage Director at the St. Laurent Shrine.

He has also ministered as Chaplain to the Victoria Hospital, Pineview, Holy Family Hospital, Herb Bassett Home, Rivier Academy, and the Sisters of the Presentation, and as Co-Chaplain of the Catholic Women’s League—all while serving the school community of more than 3,000 students, 350 staff, and countless families.

“Monsignor is a faithful companion to staff, families, and parishioners across Prince Albert. He has made countless visits to classrooms and schools, extending an open heart for students and staff to encounter and share the faith. He takes great joy in working with ministries, supporting reconciliation services, and celebrating youth liturgies such as graduations, school opening masses, and school masses. He also supported powwows, and other Indigenous ceremonies in our communities.”
