About the Diocese of FairbanksWhere we are
The Diocese of Fairbanks is enormous. It covers a massive 409,849 square miles, about two-thirds of the entire state. Geographically, the Diocese of Fairbanks is the largest in the entire United States, and, of particular note, it is also among the poorest. Only eight of its 46 parishes and missions are self-supporting. The viability of these parishes and missions depends on the support of grant funding and individual donations from across the country and worldwide.
