[edit] History
On Good Friday of 1964, an earthquake with a magnitude of 9.2 devistated much of southcentral Alaska. The Pope's apostolic delegate came to view the damage, and upon doing so they saw that Anchorage would be the focal point of both state and spiritual growth. In 1966, the Holy See created the Archdiocese of Anchorage, and made Alaska a separate province. Today, most of Alaska's archdiocese's Catholics worship in one of Anchorages perishes.
