The Anchorage Korean Catholic Community regularly holds Korean Mass with the support of the Archdiocese of Anchorage.

In addition to the regular weekly Mass, special Masses are held for major Catholic holidays like Christmas and Easter, as well as traditional Korean holidays such as Lunar New Year and Chuseok, blending Korean sentiment with Catholic liturgy.

After Mass, community members gather to share lovingly prepared Korean food, creating a warm fellowship time. Thanks to this, the community serves not just as a faith group but also as a valuable living community where members check in on each other and share information about immigrant life.

Upon entering the church, you will feel a deep comfort as if you have stepped into a quiet church in Korea.

Additionally, this Korean Catholic community is deeply connected to warm service activities for the local community. They actively participate in various programs, such as regularly helping at the local food bank to assist those in need and supporting immigrants who have just arrived in this unfamiliar land.

In this way, Korean believers are expanding their positive influence in the local community based on their faith.

If you are looking for a place to belong in the unfamiliar land of Alaska or miss a Catholic faith community, please do not hesitate to check the schedule for Korean Mass. The hometown friends will warmly welcome you with open arms as you raise your voices in prayer together in this distant land.
