("Welcome!" in Koyukon Athabascan, Central Yup'ik and Inupiaq)

Welcome! We are many peoples from many cultures, and live in a land of extremes, spread over several hundred thousand square miles, and are One People, united in our Catholic faith. We thank God for all He has given us: our lives, our love of Him, the beauty of the land in which we live, the sustenance He provides. As a Missionary diocese, we rely on the kindness of our benefactors from around the world for the support of the majority of our parishes and programs. Thank you for visiting our web site. You are welcome to contact us with any questions, or to stop by the Chancery if you are in Fairbanks. God bless you.
