History
Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church moved to its present site in Delta Junction, Alaska in the middle of the '60s. Through the joint efforts of a team of military and civilian volunteers, the current church was constructed out of a surplus barracks building donated by Eielson AFB and relocated to Delta Junction. At the current site, ambitious volunteers wielding hammers, saws, planes, and paintbrushes transformed a two-story barracks into a church. The transformed barracks served OLS parish until the middle '80s when parish members began to recognize the need for a larger church. Again volunteers came forward with saws, hammers, and construction expertise. After 4 years of concerted effort, our dream was of a corridor connecting the new with the old had become a reality. Today, Our Lady of Sorrows Church is too small to accommodate everyone, and a new church is in the planning stages.
