Special Events
There is always something meaningful happening at St. Francis in the Foothills.
Our special events are opportunities to gather beyond weekly worship—bringing people together through music, learning, service, and shared experiences. From concerts and guest speakers to community conversations, seasonal celebrations, and outreach events, each gathering offers a unique way to connect more deeply with one another and with the life of the church.
Whether you are new to St. Francis or have been part of the community for years, these events are designed to be welcoming, engaging, and accessible to all.
We invite you to explore what’s coming up and join us as we learn, grow, and celebrate together.

Clergy and leaders from three Tucson congregations—Rabbi Malcolm of Kol Ami Synagogue, Rev.

This final ritual, taking place just before the 250th Fourth of July, has been shaped by the shared learning and discussion of those that have attended the Faith250 discussions over the last four months.
