Governor Heintzleman will head group
interested in re-building St. Michael's
Alt long last it ap
pears something con
crete will toe undertak- i
en to restore and re- i
pair historic St. Mich- ,
ael’s Cathedral, land
mlark in Sitfksa and a
prime tourist attrac
tion.
For many years B.
Frank Heintzleman,
now governor of Alaska
has expressed, interest
in takinlg steps to pre
serve this structure toe
lore the ravages of time
resulted in damage
which would be irre
parable.
Recently, the Gov
ernor offered to head
a committee to solicit
ftiinVds for this work.
The Siitkia Ohamlber, of Com
merce set up a committee tc
work with Arohm'andrite Am
vrossy Merejko and the commit
tee of St. Michael's church on
concrete plans.
Wednesday afternoon a meet
ing was held at the home of
Mrs. D. A. 'Hope with represent
aitives of St. (Michael's commit
tee and the Chamber of Com
merce, to discuss the handling
of ifiunds for the repair of the
church. A definite plan was
adopted whereby acceptance of
Governor Hientzleman’s offer
to act as honorary chairman
was accepted.
Serving on the working com
mittee are the Rev. Merejko,
who is soon to be made Bishop
of Alaska for his church; and
Peter C. Nielson, (Mrs. D. A.
Hope, Thomas C. Young, Sr.,
Innocent Williams. George C.
Beacom, Mrs. Russell Clithero,
Fred N. VanlHorn. Joseph H.
Ashlby and Warren C. Christ
ianson. Riev. Merejko wia<s elect
ed chairman.
Under 'the plan a fund will be
set up designated as "St. Mich
ael’s Cathedral building fund
from which withdrawals will
Ko iQimnrmrphi (bv the working
committee 0 and1 co-signed by
Peter C. Nielsen (and Joe H.
Ashiby tflor the repairs as work
progresses. I
A small fund is now on hand
in the 'bank to the credit of the
Russian Church congregation
and Rev. Ainwrossy is to present
a plan at the next meeting of
the bishops of the Russian Or
thodox Church of North Amer
ica whereby permission to lease
now-ddle church property can
fee (granted!, and funds thereby
gained will fee added to the
building fund1 and turned over
!to the committee to use for re
novations. *
In turn the Chamber of Cone
mence is to spank la drive foi
Jiiuinds from local organizations
and individuals to match that
raised by the church itself lo
cally. This in turn will be the
basis of a selling point to be
incorporated into a form letter
listing the committee, with the
Governor as honorary chair
man, containing 'attractive pic
tures of the church, to be sent
to organizations in Alaska and
stateside which might be inter
ested in contributing' to this
fund.
Several individuals and
groups have already expressed
a wish to join in the restoration
of this historic landmark, so
any contributions should be
made payable to St. Michael’s
Cathedral building fund and
sent to Mr. Nielsen or Mr.
Ashby or the Chamber of Com
merce for deposit.
Many people who have an
interest in the church will be
happy to learn that a defin
ite plan has been set up that
will preserve this edifice for
future generations of residents
and tourists alike.
