St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church, located in Wrangell, Alaska, holds historical significance as the first Catholic parish established in the state. The church has undergone several modifications since its inception in 1879, with major renovations completed in 1926 that preserved its interior integrity over the years.

The building process began under the guidance of Father John Althoff, who enlisted local Irish Catholics to construct the church, and later efforts saw the contributions of notable figures like Leo McCormack. Today, the church stands as a testament to the community's dedication and the ongoing spiritual life of its parishioners.
