Saint Rose of Lima Catholic Church

About this church

Saint Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Wrangell, Alaska, holds Sunday Mass at 11:00 a.m. and again at 5:30 p.m. Daily Mass is offered at 7:25 a.m. on most Mondays and Tuesdays, so anyone planning a weekday visit should confirm the schedule with the parish first. The church belongs to the Archdiocese of Anchorage-Juneau and is served by a parish priest. Its website describes it as the first Catholic parish in the state of Alaska, with roots going back to 1879, and notes that the parish has been a permanent mission of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate since 1990.

The church stands at 120 Church Street, set back from the street on a large landscaped lot, and the building's interior has changed little since the early twentieth century. The website shares a parish history along with pages of old photos and renovation pictures, including recent projects such as insulation work, a jubilee door and interior painting. It also links to a Vatican bulletin and a way to donate. Visitors with questions can call the parish office at 907-874-3771 or write to the church at P.O. Box 469, Wrangell, AK 99929. The site says all are welcome at Mass.
