Because of priest shortages, parish administrators have served in recent years to take charge of the day to day activities of parish life. Eskimo deacons often celebrate liturgies at Holy Family, giving homilies, and assisting with marriages, baptisms and funerals. Presently, parishes in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta are served on a rotating schedule by ministry teams which may include priests, deacons, and religious and trained lay staff members.

Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
