Jesus Mary & Joseph Ministries of Tucson

JMJ is a ministry dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Our goal is to expand and better serve the Catholic Community by providing a larger facility which will serve as a community resource center. JMJ Ministries was a religious store and pilgrimage company that was owned and operated by H. Gayle Sims which started in 1995. Gayle, along with numerous volunteers and prayer partners, have offered ma

ny conferences, retreats, Holy Masses, catechism, education and aiding churches and Priests as well as taking them on pilgrimages. In doing so we are able to maintain Catholic traditions. In faithfulness to the magisterium we provide educational and spiritual direction that is utilized by Priests and lay people. In addition the ministry has been involved in community and neighborhood concerns through our prayer support ministry. In the 20 years of ministry in Tucson, our primary area has been on the South Side of Tucson with a special attention to the City of South Tucson, which is a very small, poor community. It is ministering to the people of the South side that we realized the importance for the need of a larger facility namely a resource center that will provide both a spiritual and a social haven for the area; facilities which at the present time do not exist in Tucson or the surrounding area.
