Welcome to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix

Bishop Dolan's Seven Year Pastoral Plan

In October 2024, Bishop John Dolan, the fifth Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix, announced his historic seven-year Pastoral Plan on evangelization. Inspired by Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patroness of the Diocese of Phoenix, the plan began in January 2025 and leads up to December 2031— the 500th anniversary of Our Lady of Guadalupe appearing to St. Juan Diego on Tepeyac Hill in modern day Mexico City.
