Beyond The Beacon Episode 88: Mission priest shares his love for serving in Alaska


Father Kamil Kiszka joins Bishop Kevin J. Sweeney and Jai Agnish to discuss his unique calling to ministry in Alaska. The Polish priest often flies to parishes where parishioners haven’t had Mass in months. There are funeral processions with snowmobiles, and afternoon ice fishing with Eskimo friends. Father Kiszka also opens up about the impact of darkness and isolation on his mental health and how he copes with discouragement.
