About the Archdiocese of Anchorage-Juneau, Alaska:
The Archdiocese of Anchorage-Juneau has its roots in the early Catholic presence in Alaska, which was initially served by missionaries from the Diocese of Vancouver Island. The area was initially part of the Apostolic Vicariate of Alaska, established in 1916. In 1962, the Diocese of Juneau was created, and in 1968, the Diocese of Anchorage was established. These two dioceses were later merged in 2020 to form the Archdiocese of Anchorage-Juneau.
About Holy Family Old Cathedral in Anchorage, Alaska:
Built in Art Deco style, Holy Family opened in 1948 as the Cathedral for the Diocese of Anchorage. It remained the Cathedral of the Diocese from 1966 to 2020, when the two dioceses were merged to form the Archdiocese of Anchorage-Juneau.
Here at the Cathedral the Dominicans offer one of the most ancient rites in the West, the Dominican Rite, begun in the mid-thirteenth century. This Rite was accepted for the Dominican Order and also accepted in some cities, dioceses and countries as their own as well. The Dominican Rite was approved by Pope Clement IV in 1267, and not revoked during the Tridentine revisions of the Missal under the Dominican, Pope Pius V.
