The Archdiocese of Anchorage-Juneau is a Roman Catholic ecclesiastical territory located in Alaska, USA. It covers a significant portion of southeastern Alaska, including the cities of Anchorage and Juneau, extending over areas that were previously under the separate dioceses.

History

On May 19, 2020, Pope Francis merged the Archdiocese of Anchorage and the Diocese of Juneau. Following this merger, Bishop Andrew Bellisario was appointed as its first Metropolitan Archbishop. This action combined the Catholic communities of both regions into one archdiocese.
