BAPTISMAL RECORD REQUESTS
There are no baptismal records kept here at the Diocesan Pastoral Center – all sacramental records are kept at the parish of baptism. Please contact the individual parish if you know where you were baptized. If you do not know the name of the parish, please complete the blank search request form, and provide as much detail as possible including where the parents lived at the time of the baptism and if any parishes have already been contacted.
The form may be faxed to the Chancery office @ 602-354-2427 or emailed to contact-us@diocesephoenix.org
