Ministry E-Letters

Join Our Mailing List!

For 6 months of the liturgical year we retrace the story of Jesus--from anticipating his arrival to celebrating his birth and ministry to making sense of his death, resurrection, and ascension. During the season after Pentecost, we ponder the question: If Jesus is the Christ, then who are we? We invite you to seek answers through the many spiritual, educational, musical, and ministry opportunities at St. Philip's.

If you know of someone who might like to receive these e-updates, feel free to use the "forward to a friend" link to share the newsletter with them! That doesn't add them to any lists but gives them the opportunity to choose to subscribe.

We hope this e-letter is a useful tool in connecting and staying connected with our St. Philip's community!


This Weekend                                           

El Tiradito Community Vigil Tonight
Join St. Philippians this evening (June 16) for dinner at El Minuto Restaurant at 6 p.m. followed by the the El Tiradito community vigil at 7 p.m. (El Tiradito Shrine, Main St. between Simpson and Cushing Sts.). Together with members of the local immigration reform community we'll remember our brothers and sisters who perished or are lost in the desert and learn about recent developments in US immigration and border policies. It is an early evening of music, fellowship, prayer, and reflection. This vigil is sponsored by Derechos Humanos and held every Thursday at 7 p.m.

"Seasoned" Singles Tour Mirror Lab        
In May, a group of St. Philip's "Seasoned" Singles toured the Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab at the UA Steward Observatory. Our tour began with a video and narration by a volunteer giving background about the observatory and the Giant Magellan Telescope project. Then we were taken through the huge, open, three-story actual production area. Read more.
