For those that don't know, I currently reside in Alaska. It is QUITE a change from the Detroit, Michigan area. I live about 3 hours south of Anchorage, and there are 2 churches within "Sunday Mass" driving distance. Both are run by parish administrators (lay women who operationally run the church). The priests are mission priests, Oblates to be more specific.
In Alaska, there is essentially 1 TLM mass site that I know of, which is in Fairbanks. That is a 12 hour drive :)
The Archbishop has "greenlighted" a Saturday evening celebration of the Sunday High Mass. It will take place in the Anchorage church of the Holy Family Cathedral. A website dedicated to the the TLM in Alaska has the news: Summorum Ponitificum Alaska
This is great news! Now the trick will be to get some "monthly" celebrations in other areas of the diocese. I am not greedy, but Anchorage is a 3 hour drive, one way. With gas at $3.55 in Alaska, that's an expensive Mass.
