Lentorama 2012: Know Your Diocese
Day 6: Diocese of Fairbanks
While founded in 1962, its roots go all the way back to 1894 with the founding of an apostolic prefecture, a missionary area that doesn't have enough Catholics to form a diocese. It's likely still the US diocese with the lowest population density, with roughly 18,000 worshipers spread over 410,000 square miles.
With that size, it's also not surprising to learn it's the home to the oldest church-run radio station in the country. Not quite sure how you take communion over the radio. Maybe they send you wafers.
