About "Sacred Alaska"

Sacred Alaska" is an award-winning documentary that offers an intimate look into Native Alaskan culture and spirituality. It showcases the profound influence of Orthodox Christianity on Alaskan society, introduced by Russian monks in the late 18th century. The film highlights the unique way Alaskans have woven their indigenous beliefs with Christian traditions, deeply influencing their worldview. Central to this is the concept of learning to become a "real person." Through beautiful cinematography and powerful storytelling, "Sacred Alaska" underscores the profound, sacred bond between the Alaskan people, their faith, and the formidable landscape they call home.

Our "Hybrid" Silent Auction

In addition to the film, we will be offering unique items for auction as a parallel "hybrid" event, both online and in-person. The auction will open on or around May 5th online, and all bidding will close when the film begins at 10am on May 17th. If you come to the film screening event, you can see all of our items in-person before the show, make your final bid online as you take your seat, and take the item(s) you win afterwards. If you can't make it to the show, you can still bid for items online & we will deliver or ship your items to you.

What is Saint Justin Academy?

Established in 2021, Saint Justin Academy ("SJA") offers an affordable education option for Grades K-12 which combines the benefits of classroom learning with independence and flexibility through our "homeschool hybrid" program.

We’re committed to removing financial barriers for enrollment, especially since the intensive involvement of parents in the education of SJA students means that most of our families rely on a single income. Your generosity makes our program and expansion efforts possible and helps to keep the cost of an Orthodox Christian education affordable.

Thank you for your prayers and support!
