Bishop Dolan’s first Pastoral Letter as Bishop of Diocese of Phoenix

The Diocese of Phoenix is pleased to share Bishop John Dolan’s first Pastoral Letter “TILMA” in which he shares with us a seven-year pastoral plan on evangelization for the Diocese, gearing up to December 9, 2031, the 500^th anniversary of Our Lady’s apparitions on Tepeyac Hill. The Pastoral Letter also presents to us the many opportunities of graces and blessings that the Jubilee Year of Hope 2025 will bring. “TILMA,” is inspired by the acronym Testifica, oh Iglesia, a la Luz del Misterio del Amor (Testify, o Church, to the Light of the Mystery of Love).

Also included is Bishop Dolan’s decree designating specific churches in our Diocese as Jubilee sites during this Jubilee Year:

• Chapel of the Holy Cross, Sedona
• Sacred Heart, Prescott
• St. Anthony, Sacaton
• St. Mary, Kingman
• St. Mary's Basilica, Phoenix
• Ss. Simon and Jude Cathedral
