The Sacramental Records Policy and Procedures establishes a uniform protocol for the creation, maintenance, storage and preservation of permanent records pertaining to the sacramental life of the faithful of the Diocese of Phoenix. The sacrament (whether Confirmation, First Eucharist, Marriage or Holy Orders) is recorded in the register at the church in which the sacrament is celebrated.
The Archives of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix serves as the final repository for the Diocese’s historical records. Our mission is to collect, maintain, and preserve records of enduring value which pertain to the Roman Catholic Church in Central and Northwest Arizona.
