This past Saturday, September 12, ten newcomers joined Mtr Taylor Devine for a biannual orientation to both the Episcopal church and Saint Philip’s.

They had the opportunity to:

meet Vestry officers: Senior Warden John Bremond, Julia Annas, Matt Bonamie, and Renee Clift
meet with Mtr Taylor to learn what it means to be a member of this parish (as well as the Episcopal Church)
take a short tour of the campus
learn about the basics of parish life at Saint Philip’s (what committees exist, how to plan for Baptism and Confirmation)
hear about ongoing ministries and groups and how to get involved
meet and get to know one another

Another newcomer gathering is in the works for December of 2026. Stay tuned for the date announcement.

If you are a newcomer and would like to schedule a time to meet with Mtr Taylor, you can get in touch with her via email at Taylor.Devine@stphilipstucson.org, or click here to book a newcomer meeting with her.

You can also find Mtr Taylor or a volunteer at the blue umbrella on Sundays after the 10:00am service. It is located wherever coffee hour is found that day.
