Location:Catholic Diocese of Phoenix400 E. MonroePhoenix, AZ 85004
The Catholic Diocese of Phoenix is in downtown Phoenix at 4th St. and Monroe. There are lots of one-way streets AND construction in the area, so the best way to get to the campus is from 7th Street. Please follow these directions carefully! • From I-10, take the 7th Street Exit. • Go South on 7th Street for 0.8 miles to Monroe St. Monroe St. is only one block south of Van Buren, so get in the right-hand lane (not the turn lane) before the light at Van Buren. Monroe St. will be the first street right after you cross Van Buren. • Turn RIGHT onto Monroe St. and go West for two blocks to 5th St. • Turn RIGHT onto 5th St. and make an immediate left into the Parking Garage. There is only a small freestanding, sandwich-style sign reading "Phoenix Diocese—Pastoral Care Center". You are now entering an underground garage. • Park on the first level. You'll see large arrows on the west wall directing you to the elevator to the "Pastoral Care Center." • Take the elevator up to the ground level. As you exit the elevator, there will be a set of doors immediately to your right that will take you into the training rooms.
