The Diocese of Anchorage is handling WYD coordination for all three Dioceses in the state of Alaska. Contact Fr. Thomas Weise from the Diocese of Juneau if you are from Juneau and have questions. To sign up, download the PDF brochure. It contains the pilgrimage itinerary, information on expenses, and a sign up form. Best advice? Sign up EARLY. It will take lots of hard work and fundraising, but as many others will confirm: it is worth it! And it CAN be done. So sign up right now.
