FAIRBANKS — Bishop Chad Zielinski, the Catholic Bishop of Northern Alaska, will offer a Mass of Healing at noon Thursday for the victims of any kind of child abuse. Mass will be held at Sacred Heart Cathedral, 1300 Peger Road. Everyone is invited to attend. There will be an opportunity for private prayer, fellowship and a light lunch after the Mass.

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has encouraged every diocese in the country to offer a Mass of Healing in April for victims of child abuse. In 1983, President Reagan proclaimed the month of April as National Child Abuse Prevention Month.

Healing Masses and prayers will be said throughout the diocese during the entire month.
