This year’s Cornerstone Gala gave us the privilege of honoring Archbishop Edward J. Weisenburger for his faithful service and enduring impact on the Diocese of Tucson.

His years of leadership here were marked by pastoral presence, care for families and those in need, and a deep commitment to the life of our parishes and Catholic community.

We were grateful to welcome him back to Tucson and celebrate the legacy he continues to leave behind.

Art has a remarkable ability to bring people together.

The Cathedral Concert Series: CONFLUENCES is built around that very idea — creating encounters where music, memory, culture, faith, and community meet. The 2026/2027 season will feature seven performances stretching from October through April.

The Catholic Foundation for the Diocese of Tucson is honored to be among the supporters helping make this season possible.

From folklórico and mariachi to chamber music, sacred choral traditions, medieval music, classical guitar, and piano, this season offers something truly special for Southern Arizona.

We invite you to experience it.

October 10 & 11 is Legacy Giving Weekend.

Throughout the weekend, participating parishes and schools will be sharing information and resources about wills, estate planning, and charitable legacy gifts that can benefit your parish, school, or the Catholic Foundation.

For many families, estate planning is about more than organizing assets. It is an opportunity to consider the people, organizations, and ministries that have shaped their lives—and how they may wish to support them in the future.

If you have not reviewed your will or estate plan recently, Legacy Giving Weekend is a wonderful opportunity to begin the conversation.

Plan thoughtfully. Give faithfully. Leave a legacy that reflects what you value.
