We, the Catholic faithful of Yukon and the surrounding areas, comprise Seven Dolors Parish. We have a rich immigrant ancestry and a diverse ethnic heritage where Christian charity prevails. We are committed to the Eucharist, the Good News of Jesus Christ and all teachings of the Catholic Church. We strive to minister to the needs of those we encounter on a daily basis by centering ourselves in worship, participating in the sacramental life of the Church, and performing works of mercy. We seek to build-up the Kingdom of God through stewardship and service under the guidance of our patroness, Mary, the Mother of God.
