Welcome to the Bishop’s Office

Bishop John P. Dolan is the spiritual leader of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix. He provides for the spiritual needs of the priests, deacons, women and men religious and people of the diocese. His office is responsible for overseeing the ministries, activities and programs of the Diocese of Phoenix.

Through the Bishop’s Office, Bishop Dolan shepherds the people of the diocese with the assistance of Auxiliary Bishop Eduardo A. Nevares, Bishop Emeritus Thomas J. Olmsted, and his priests, who lead the parishes and ministries under the bishop’s guidance and leadership. Together they work to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ and to help the faithful encounter the living Christ.
