In 2018 and every year, your support helps bring Easter Mass to listeners in Western Alaska who do not have a priest to celebrate the holiday.

What a blessing! For the first time in the history of St. Joseph Catholic Church, two priests are present to minister to Nome and its many surrounding communities. You continue to make it possible for live, local voices to bring Catholic programming to Western Alaska.
