Biography

Murray Chatlain was born on January 19, 1963 in Saskatoon.[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]

As of 2013, Chatlain remains responsible for the Mackenzie-Fort Smith diocese as apostolic administrator, pending the appointment of a new bishop.
