Other Catholic Organizations
Arizona Catholic Conference
The Arizona Catholic Conference (ACC) is the public policy agency for the Diocese of Gallup, the Diocese of Phoenix, and the Diocese of Tucson.
Catholic Cemeteries and Mortuaries
As an “extension” of our church “community” Catholic Cemeteries and Mortuaries strives to acquaint all in our diocese with the purpose of our mission and our ministry towards the Corporal Work of mercy, “to care for the dead”. As a Not for Profit organization, our primary focus is service. Our service can reach out to Catholic families before a crisis or through a face to face information exchange that outlines the process involved with pre-planning and paying for services through one of our six catholic cemeteries or Queen of Heaven Mortuary. This educational exchange will highlight the traditional and spiritual advantages of burial or funeral arrangements administered by a church owned cemetery or funeral home.
Catholic Tuition Organization of the Diocese of Phoenix
The Catholic Tuition Organization of the Diocese of Phoenix was established in 1998, thanks to the Arizona Tuition Tax Credit. The Catholic Tuition Organization is a non-profit organization under the 501(c)(3) IRS tax code.
We are committed to allocating at least 93% of its annual revenues for scholarships and grants to children attending the schools owned and operated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix, even though the law only requires 90% be allocated.
From our first year of operations in 1998, the generosity of local contributors have allowed us to continually increase funding to local Catholic schools, awarding scholarships to students with the greatest need, who wish to choose Catholic education.

The Catholic Community Foundation is an independent non-profit charitable organization that supports the religious, educational and philanthropic objectives of the Diocese of Phoenix.

Catholic Charities Community Services
Providing help. Creating hope. Serving all. It is what we do. We have been doing it in Arizona for more than 75 years.
