The Archives safeguards official church administrative and sacramental records for the diocese, parishes and schools. The archives are not open to the public but information is made available to diocesan officials, the Catholic community, historians and other researchers by completing the online Archives request form. Pending the nature of the information requested, additional documentation may be required from the inquirer.

Sacramental Records
Sacramental records are provided for church related purposes, and these are not open to public inspection. Individuals requesting sacramental records must complete the online Archives request form.
We attempt to respond to all inquiries promptly; however, due to limited staffing, some requests may take up to a week or more to research.
Donations are appreciated to help us cover the cost of maintaining the archives.
