The pastor, Fr. Thomas Brundage, invited Fr. Juncer to conduct the workshops after Fr. Brundage attended the Canons Regular Sancta Missa workshop in Mundelein, IL.  About 35-40 participants attended the workshops over the course of the three days.

During the workshop, St. Andrew Church celebrated its first High Mass on Saturday morning, August 7th with about 40-50 people attending.

Fr. Brundage offers the Extraordinary Form of the Mass weekly at St. Andrew's in Eagle River. Prior to that, he was offering the Extraordinary Form of the Mass at St. Michael Parish in Palmer, Alaska, where he had been serving as pastor before his current assignment.

"In order to better serve Catholics who wish to worship according to the 'Forma extraordinaria', ample and ongoing catechesis in the form of the Mass must be available. This can only be achieved if, first of all, priests and seminarians are prepared to serve this need." —H. E. Francis Cardinal George
