St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Koyukuk is finally getting an upgrade! For the past few decades, the parish building consisted of a renovated fuel-oil shed whose walls were so soaked with oil they wouldn’t hold paint. The old building also could only hold about 15 people. The new structure, which is expected to be complete by summer 2024, will enable at least 30 people to attend Mass regularly.
