WELCOME BOOK for our new Pastor Reverend Michael Long 

As we prepare to welcome Pastor Michael to St. Francis, we would love to create a special keepsake to help introduce him to the incredible people who make this community what it is.

We invite everyone to contribute a one-page introduction sharing a little about yourself, your family, your interests, or anything else you would like Pastor Michael to know about you. This is your chance to “let your light shine” and help offer a warm and personal welcome as he begins this new chapter with St. Francis.

You are also encouraged to include some of your favorite Tucson recommendations—restaurants, local spots, recreational activities, entertainment, hidden gems, or places that help make Tucson feel like home. Since Pastor Michael will be new to Tucson, we hope this collection becomes both a welcome book and a guide to the community he is joining.

Please email your submission to Kaitlin by Sunday, June 14, 2026. Submissions should include:
* Your name
* Basic contact information
* When you joined St. Francis (if applicable)
* Any photos of yourself you would like to include

Kaitlin will provide an initial photo using the images taken for the upcoming church directory, but additional photos are warmly welcomed.

As an alternative, printed one-page submissions may also be placed in the box labeled “Welcome Pastor Long” on the Welcome Table in the lobby by Sunday, June 7.

We hope everyone will take part in helping create this meaningful welcome gift for Pastor Michael before his first Sunday with us on July 5, 2026. Thank you for helping us extend such a thoughtful and heartfelt welcome!
