On November 16, 2024, the relics of Saint Olga of Alaska were solemnly discovered in the town of Kwethluk, Alaska, as reported by the Sitka and Alaska Diocese of the Orthodox Church in America. The ceremony, led by Bishop Alexei of Sitka and Alaska, marked the transfer of Saint Olga’s remains to the St. Nicholas Church.

The discovery of her relics precedes the official canonization of Saint Olga, scheduled for June 2025. Just a week earlier, on November 8, the diocese commemorated the 45th anniversary of her passing.

The event gathered faithful from around the world, including members of the Yup'ik people, Saint Olga’s indigenous community. In preparation for the discovery, believers submitted more than 2,000 names to be remembered in prayer during the first service before her relics.

In November 2023, the Holy Synod of the Orthodox Church in America resolved to glorify Olga (Arrsamkuk) Michael (1916–1979), a beloved Alaskan figure. Known as "Matushka Olga," she was the wife of a priest and a midwife, revered as the patron saint of women, especially those who have experienced abuse.

Born in Kwethluk to the Yup'ik people, Olga lived her entire life in her native village, where she was baptized into the Orthodox faith during the era of the Russian Orthodox mission. Renowned for her work as a midwife, she helped deliver countless babies across Kwethluk and neighboring villages. Her charity and compassion for the poor, often giving away her children's clothes to those in need, left a lasting impact on the community.

Veneration of Matushka Olga began shortly after her death, culminating in her canonization in 2023. Her feast day is celebrated annually on November 10.
