Rector Search

After the departure of our Rector in August 2025, leadership and parishioners undertook a rigorous and thoughtful discernment process. This parish profile is an overview of what emerged.

Sunday Worship

7:45am: Holy Eucharist Rite I
This service uses the traditional language that most closely adheres to the patterns of prayer that have shaped Christians generation to generation. There is no music at this service.

10:00am: Holy Eucharist Rite II
(Click here to watch via live-stream)
This service uses the more modern language adopted in 1979, and a choir leads hymns and anthems.
American Sign Language interpretation is available every week at the front left-hand side of the church.

9:00am-12:45pm: The nursery (with trained attendants) is available.

On most Sundays after the 10:00am service (September-May), children ages 2.5-12th graders meet for an hour in age defined groups. Parents and caregivers with children at home meet for an hour, as well. Click here for details.

Visitors and newcomers, as well as long-time parishioners, are invited to stop by the blue umbrella during coffee hour (following the 10:00am service). Staff can answer questions about the parish and provide information about different events and ministries. Saint Philip’s is large enough that it’s helpful to have someone provide a roadmap or connect you directly with people involved with an activity you might want to explore.

4:00pm: Come & See
This alternative service includes a reflection followed by discussion and communal sharing of bread and wine. It is held in Saint Anne’s Center.

4:30pm: Choral Evensong
Sung prayers, psalms, and traditional evening canticles create a service full of meditative moments. This is offered during the program year (October-May) and suspended during the summer months.

Grant awarded

Saint Philip’s has received $150,000 from the National Fund for Sacred Places, a program of Partners for Sacred Places in collaboration with the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

This funding will support essential repairs to the sanctuary’s primary facade, which is arguably the most prominent example of work by the renowned Tucson architect, Josias Joesler. Saint Philip’s was originally constructed in 1936 and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
