Anchorage to host gathering of 11th century Catholic order
Hundreds of members of an international Catholic religious order dating back to the 11th century will soon be walking the streets of Anchorage. Alaska is host for the annual meeting of the northwest chapter of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre Sept. 18-21. While possessing an exotic name and a centuries-long history in the Catholic Church, the work of the order is right out of today’s headlines.
