CALL Overview
Am I prepared to live out my faith when the decisions are up to me? Do I really understand what is at stake?
The Catholic Academy for Life Leadership, a three year program which meets four times a year, offers those in the high school years an enhanced exposure to what families and parishes provide. It covers the topic of relationships – of course, with the help of JPII and Theology of the Body. It also gives teens a chance to see the positive relationship our Catholic faith has with science, helping them think through the beauty of science as it relates to human reproduction and development. The third year covers bioethics issues related to any career path.
See the complete list of topics on the Calendar page »
The service hours each year (see the Downloads page for more information), along with additional leadership opportunities, help teens to grow in faith and to lay the foundation for a joy–filled future. And this kind of a commitment to leadership, personal development, civic responsibility, and possible career path will look great on a college or scholarship application.

Bishop Thomas Olmsted’s Three-Year
Diocesan Initiative for Marriage
On January 1, 2010 Bishop Olmsted’s new marriage preparation policy for the Diocese of Phoenix, “Covenant of Love,” took effect, beginning a three year diocesan initiative for marriage in our diocese.
- In 2010, the diocese devoted a greater zeal in helping engaged couples prepare for life together.
- In 2011, we will give special energy and focus to our people already married, endeavoring to help them deepen and renew their marriages.
- In 2012, we will dedicate a particular diocesan focus to our young people, still years away from marriage, and their parents, in the stage called “remote marriage preparation.”
