A Message from Bishop John Dolan...


Although Jesuits first arrived in Southern Arizona in the 1600s, they were expelled by Carlos III of Spain in the 1700s and did not return in permanence until the founding of Brophy in 1928. In 1959, St. Francis Xavier Parish became the only Jesuit parish in the Diocese of Phoenix.
