Changes

His Grace the Right Reverend Bishop '''Peter (Ekaterinovsky) of Novoarkhangelsk''' became the [[auxiliar auxiliary bishop|vicar bishop]] of the Alaskan see as the missionary environment of the Eastern Siberia and Alaska evolved during the mid-nineteenth. Originally, arriving in Alaska in 1857 as the [[rector]] of the Novoarkhangelsk (Sitka) Seminary, Bp. Peter succeeded in 1859 to the vicariate see of Novoarkhangelsk in the Diocese of Kamchatka, the Kuriles, and the Aleutians Islands under Bp. Innocent (St. [[Innocent of Alaska]]) whose see had been moved from Alaska to Yakutsk, Russia. Following in the work of his predecessor, he added mission schools in Kodiak and Unalaska and continued missionary efforts.
