Talk:List of parishes in Alaska (USA)

Alaska seems to have a lot of OCA parishes. In looking over their listings a number of parishes lacked contacts or a priest. I assume some of these parishes are only serviced when possible. It was also evident that a few priests were serving several different parishes. The next step seems to be to find out which parishes those are, which parishes are still active, etc. I have also noticed that those more familiar with a state (e.g. Magda with Texas) can break up these many towns/cities into broader categories. I'm sure this is what this article needs as well. Joe 30 Nov 2005

Hi Joe, I would say that all of the parishes are probably "active" in some way, even if that means a priest visits once a year. I think there's something like 80 parishes and 30 priests. They fly around a lot. But, yep, it would be great to have someone who is more familiar with the situation to pitch in. Fr. John

Searching for cities/towns

These were some of the harder locations to pinpoint. I think some of them maybe local names. They were harder to find on Google Maps. When in doubt I Googled the name and looked for zip codes. I then looked for cities listed with that zip code.

• Belkofsky (also looked for Belkofski)
• Iguigig (also looked for King Salmon)
• Lime Village
• Nondolton
• Newhalen (also looked for Lake and Peninsula Borough)
• Ohagamiut
• Pitka's Point
• Portage Creek
• Spruce Island (also looked for Ouzinkie, Monk's Lagoon)
• St. Paul Island (NW of St. George Island)
• Telida

Headers

Doesn't this seem like a few too many headers? If there is going to be only one listing under a header, it would seem better to group them a bit. —Fr. Andrew ^talk contribs (THINK!) 23:13, December 1, 2005 (CST)
