Phoenix Area

About the Area

The Phoenix Area of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem stands as a dedicated and spiritually engaged community within the Western USA Lieutenancy. Anchored in the venerable traditions of the Catholic Church and the history of our Order, our members are united in their commitment to supporting the Christian faithful in the Holy Land, through both prayerful intercession and material aid.

Operating within the Diocese of Phoenix, our Area is distinguished by a strong spirit of camaraderie and a deep sense of duty. We seek to live out our faith through regular participation in spiritual exercises, such as the First Monday Rosary, and through attendance at our scheduled Mid-Year Meetings and communal events. These gatherings not only strengthen our internal bonds but also renew our shared mission to sustain the Christian presence in the Holy Land.

We extend a warm invitation to all members to actively engage in our planned First Monday Rosary, upcoming meetings, Lieutenancy events and presentations, and pilgrimage. Your participation is vital as we work together, under the guidance of our Order and the teachings of Christ, to make a meaningful impact both within our local community and in the broader mission that unites us all.
