    Volume 59 Number 5 Fall 2021 Some give by going to the Missions Some go by giving to the Missions Without both there are no Missions Bishop Zielinski’s Visit to Unalakleet Editor’s Note: In Part II of Bishop Zielinski’s Easter trip to the villages, he visits the village of Unalakleet. After a prolonged absence from our diocese’s indigenous Catholics, Bishop Chad Zielinski finally was blessed to visit several parishes along the Yukon River this past spring. For these faith communities, it was their first time celebrating the Mass and sacraments for more than a year. Friday, March 19 Today was the Solemnity of St. Joseph, and I reflected what a perfect companion this saint was for my own journey to the villages of Alaska, having embarked on his holy journey with Jesus and Mary at the request of an angel. After a nearly two-hour flight from Anchorage, I arrived late afternoon in Unalakleet, a small village of about 700 people located in western Alaska. The name of the village is an adaptation of the Inupiaq word “Una-la-thliq,” which means “from the southern side.” Unalakleet has long been a major trade center between the interior Athabaskan and Bishop Chad Zielinski at Holy Angels Catholic Church in Unalakleet, Alaska.

All rights reserved. Photos copyright © 2019, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Washington, DC. All rights reserved. FROM THE CHAIRMAN February 2019 My Dear Friends in Catholic Native American Ministry, It is with great pleasure I present to you the Two Rivers Report. This Report is about the two rivers of Native American Catholic faith and cultures that flow into one. In this report you will find an updated study from CARA concerning the state of Native American Ministry, both in terms of challenges and opportunities. The Report also examines the gifts of Catholic Native American ministry. Last the report includes a list of recommen- dations by the Subcommittee on Native American Affairs based on the information from the CARA study. In 2016, CARA conducted an exhaustive study on the cultural family groups for the Secretariat on Cultural Diversity, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. The following is an excerpt of that study that looks at the information concerning Catholic Native Americans. It is my hope that this information will guide your ministry and work with the Catholic Native American Communities in your parishes and diocese. Through your work Catholic Native American faith and the Native American cultures develop into a rich foundation that encounters Christ. Yours in Christ, Most Rev. James Wall Bishop of Gallup, Chair, Subcommittee on Native American Affairs THE MERGING OF TWO The 2013-2015 CARA study shows several mark- RIVERS, FAITH AND CULTURE ers that make Native American Catholic communi- ties unique.

  • End of Year Reflections from Bishop Chad Zielinski My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I Greet You in This Blessed Advent Season
    Volume 54 Number 5 Christmas 2016 Some give by going to the Missions Some go by giving to the Missions Without both there are no Missions End of Year Reflections From Bishop Chad Zielinski My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I greet you in this blessed Advent season. I hope my letter finds you in good health and spirits. In the interior of Alaska, Mother Nature took her time to click into winter, but life has settled into the rhythms and pace that makes life in the Far North so challenging and rewarding. As I prepared to write this letter, my mind kept circling around the word “paradox.” As Catholics we are no strangers to it. Our God is one, yet three. Christ is fully divine and fully human. The first shall be last, and the last, first. It is in dying that we are born to eternal life. It is on this last phrase that my mind settled as the full implications of our recent loss of two priests in the diocese became clear. Before I discuss this Advent and Christmas seasons, I would like to reflect on both men because I, and so many others, feel their loss keenly. Fr. Nelson Marilag died unexpectedly September 20. He said he wasn’t feeling well and retired to his room. Several hours Bishop Chad Zielinski and St. Marys Resident, later another priest discovered his body Eva, attend a funeral sitting in a chair in his room. He was 55 ceremony for Fr. Ted years old. Fr. Nelson was born, educated and Kestler, SJ, in October.

  • Will You Help Us Bring Christ to the People of Northern Alaska?
    Some give by going to the Missions Some go by giving to the Missions Without both there are no Missions Will You Help Us Bring Christ to the People of Northern Alaska? Imagine you can’t go to Mass— because there’s no parish priest. Imagine your loved one wants to go to Confession after years away from the Church— but can’t, because there’s no parish priest. Imagine with our current pandemic, what horrific results the spreading of a virus could mean to villages with elderly populations and travel restrictions. Or, imagine being terminally ill and calling the parish for Anointing of the Sick— except you can’t get anointed, because there’s no priest. It’s hard to imagine going without the Mass and Sacraments, isn’t it? For Catholics, they strengthen us for the journey to heaven. But this is a reality for Catholics in northern Alaska, who often go weeks or months without Mass. Why? Because we can’t afford to send a priest to their communities more often. A gift from you can help change that. As bishop of the largest geographic missionary diocese in the United States, I have just 18 priests to cover nearly 410,000 square miles—that’s one and a half times the size of Texas. Eighty percent of our 46 churches are in villages so remote you need a plane, snowmachine, or boat to get there. Getting there is expensive, too—it costs at least $400 to fly a priest into a village to celebrate Mass. You can fly from New York to London for what it costs our priests to travel between villages in Alaska! This is why I’m writing today—because We need your help to send priests to our village churches; we need help to educate seminarians to become future priests.
