From independent living and daily spiritual renewal to home health assistance and hospice care, Phoenix\u2019s Catholic churches, social service groups, and media cover just about all the bases.<\/p>\n<h2>More than a hundred Catholic congregations in Phoenix<\/h2>\n<p>Retirees and seniors looking for a church home will find dozens of options across the metro area. Two of the city\u2019s highest-profile Catholic churches are St. Mary\u2019s Basilica and the Cathedral of Saints Simon and Jude.<\/p>\n<p>St Mary&#8217;s, a Franciscan basilica founded in 1881, is the older of the two. The Spanish colonial revival-style building was started in 1902 and it\u2019s now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. St. Mary\u2019s offers a full liturgical calendar for congregants and serves as one of the city&#8217;s most popular downtown attractions. Tourists are drawn to the building\u2019s elegant stained glass, appealing landscaping and sculptures, and the plaque commemorating the site where Pope John Paul II prayed during his visit in 1987.<\/p>\n<p>North of downtown in the Alhambra area, the Cathedral of Saints Simon and Jude, built in classic mid-century modern style, holds Masses in English and Spanish and runs an adjacent cathedral school.<\/p>\n<h2>An extensive network of Catholic-run senior services in Phoenix<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.senioradvisor.com\/local\/foundation-for-senior-living-phoenix-az\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #9d7bae;\">Foundation for Senior Living<\/span><\/a><\/strong> has offered social services to all members of the Phoenix community since 1974.
