Support the Diocese of Fairbanks
Bishop Maekawa Needs Your Help
Help us support the new Dominican Bishop of Fairbanks as he preaches the Gospel across the largest, and one of the poorest and most remote, dioceses in the U.S.
- Only 9 of 46 parishes are accessible by road - the rest are only accessible by plane, boat, snowmachine, or ATV
- Only 17% of its parishes can support themselves financially
Bishop Maekawa has spent his entire religious life living in community as a mendicant (begging) friar
– a Dominican. As such, your gift today helps him acquire the supplies,
liturgical items, and other things he needs to begin his ministry and
support the people of his new diocese.
100% of your donation was passed on to Bishop Maekawa and his new diocese, benefitting three important areas of need:
- Episcopal Vestments and Liturgical Items
- Apostolic Supplies, Equipment, and Clothing
- Greatest Apostolic Needs
Thank you for your generosity - you raised a total of $52,834.72 for Bishop Maekawa! You helped us send off a son of the Western Province 'Into the Deep' of his new ministry. With God’s grace and your help, his apostolate in the North will bear great fruit!
If you wish to continue to support Bishop Maekawa, we gratefully invite you to give directly to the Diocese of Fairbanks to make a secure electronic gift at the button below.
