Mission Alaska: To the Ends of the Earth

Overview

Through the unforgiving elements of Alaska, courageous priests, religious, and lay faithful bring the Eucharist to some of the most remote Catholic communities on earth. This documentary chronicles the incredible efforts of priests, religious, and laity as they brave the elements, a lack of roads, and a serious shortage of priests to keep the light of faith alive. This is the Catholic Church in the 49th State, where some communities wait a year or more for a priest to celebrate the sacraments.
