Mission
As the Diocese of Dodge City is called by our Lord Jesus Christ to be His Church and live His gospel, the Archives Office is called to be a responsible steward of Church records. The Archives provides a professional repository that identifies and collects, organizes and preserves, and provides access to all historically and canonically significant, non-current documents, artifacts and other works of enduring value pertaining to the operation of the Diocese, its parishes, agencies, institutions and people. The Archives makes available and extends its materials to researchers as permitted by canon law, civil law and conservation considerations.
