The Roman Catholic Diocese of Juneau (Latin: Dioecesis Junellensis) was an ecclesiastical territory or diocese of the Roman Catholic Church in the northwestern United States, comprising the southeastern part of the state of Alaska. It was led by a prelate bishop who served as pastor of the mother church, Cathedral of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Juneau. The diocese of Juneau was a suffragan diocese of the Archdiocese of Anchorage. On May 19, 2020, the Diocese of Juneau was merged with the Archdiocese of Anchorage, which was renamed the Archdiocese of Anchorage-Juneau, and Bishop Andrew Bellisario was elevated to Archbishop. History The See of Juneau was erected on June 23, 1951, and took its territory from the former Apostolic Vicariate of Alaska. On October 3, 1951, Father Dermot O'Flanagan of Holy Family Church in Anchorage was installed as the first Bishop of Juneau and he served until 1968. While in office, Bishop O'Flanagan attended the Second Vatican Council. In 2007, the Juneau diocese became vacant when the previous bishop, Most Reverend Michael W. Warfel, was appointed bishop of Great Falls–Billings. On January 19, 2009, Pope Benedict XVI named Edward J. Burns, a priest of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, as Bishop of Juneau. He was installed on April 5, 2009. In December 2016, Pope Francis named Burns Bishop of Dallas. Pope Francis appointed Andrew E. Bellisario, CM bishop on July 11, 2017. He later became, concurrently, apostolic administrator of the Anchorage archdiocese. In 2020, these 2 jurisdictions were combined to form the Archdiocese of Anchorage-Juneau, and he was appointed its Archbishop.
