St. Michael’s Parish Day School Open House.

Episcopal schools throughout the USA have a tradition of excellence in education in a setting that promotes diversity, academics, and spiritual growth.  If you have or know children who will be in grades K-5 in the coming year, it’s not too early to save the date, Wednesday, January 13th for the St. Michael’s Open House campus event located at 602 N. Wilmot.  This open house is from 9-11am, and provides potential parents with information about how a balanced Episcopal school education is the right match for so many of our children.  For more information or for a tour, please contact Paul Pierce, Director of Admissions, at 722-8478 ext 259, or email: ppierce@stmichael.net.


Help us fill the Epiphany Trunk!

Epiphany Gifts for Primavera.  During the 5 Sundays of Epiphany, please fill the treasure chest in the back of the Church with NEW socks and underwear, toiletries, and new or gently used gloves, hats or caps, sweatshirts, jackets, sweaters, blankets, and other clothing in good condition for distribution to Tucson’s homeless population by Primavera and other programs. Socks and warm outer wear are always critical. What do we mean by "gently used"? If you would be willing to wear the garment yourself without embarrassment, it’s good to give. Last day of collection will be February 7. Thanks to Diane and Joe Tyron for delivering your donations as you fill the chest to overflowing.
