Word and Art with Bishop Dolan - 2025 Jubilee year logo
On this 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, join Bishop John Dolan as he reflects on the 2025 Jubilee Year logo in this week’s episode of Word and Art, in which Bishop John connects a Sunday reading with a famous work of art. This week’s Gospel highlights the spirit of the 2025 Jubilee Year, which kicked off in December 2024 and carries a special emphasis on the theme of hope.
Bishop John explains the symbolism of the official Jubilee logo, pointing to the reality that we as pilgrims from every corner of the earth come together amidst the waves of life, clinging to Christ, our anchor, who is the fulfillment of every human hope. Bishop John also invites listeners to visit dphx.org/tilma to learn more about the Jubilee Year and practical ideas on how to live out hope in our daily lives. Bishop John brings an exciting and insightful perspective to the series as he earned a Master of Arts degree in Liturgy/Church Art and Architecture from St. Patrick’s Seminary and University in Menlo Park, Calif.
Bishop Dolan visits Foundation for Senior Living Programs
As Bishop John Dolan continues to visit parishes and schools across the Diocese of Phoenix during his first 18 months since being named bishop in Arizona, he is also meeting with several Catholic organizations and Apostolates in the diocese. Take a look at a recent visit Bishop John made with the folks at Foundation for Senior Living (FSL) and witness the tremendous impact they make for many across the Valley of the Sun and state. The Catholic Diocese of Phoenix established FSL in 1974 as a private, non-profit organization to improve the quality of life for adults and their caregivers, originally providing housing and social services to elders and individuals with disabilities without regard to race, religion or social status. Over the years, FSL has grown and created an integrated system of care that allows adults to age in place through a continuum of home and community-based health services. One of the largest non-profit organizations in the state of Arizona, FSL offers the customized care of an independent professional.

Bishop Dolan joins volunteers at St. Vincent de Paul to make pizza
Bishop John Dolan rolled up his sleeves and volunteered at The Society of St. Vincent de Paul in downtown Phoenix recently, taking part in their bi-weekly pizza making event. He joined over 15 volunteers for three hours, who made over 150 pizzas that were served later that evening to 50 families in need. St. Vincent de Paul makes pizza twice a month on Friday afternoons, all fueled by volunteers who want to provide for others.
