ABOUT EL TOUR DE TUCSON

We are now entering our 40th year in preparing for what we think is one of the premier bicycling events in the country.

We hope you participate in this year’s event scheduled for November 18, 2023.  You won’t be alone given that annually over 7,500 cyclists participate in the renowned and popular event.

Did you know that El Tour de Tucson enables nonprofit, charitable agencies to raise funds for their respective organizations?  

Since 1983, Perimeter Bicycling events have raised over $100 million for local and international charitable organizations.

Walking with Moms in Need is a US Conference of Catholic Bishops ministry in which Catholic parishes and communities "walk in the shoes" of local pregnant and parenting women in need.

Because everyone in our community should know how to help moms and dads in difficult circumstances.  Everyone should know how to help the pregnant women who are living under our Tucson bridges and want to choose life, but just don’t know how!  Everyone should know how to gracefully help those who are internally struggling with a past abortion.  

While not trying to turn St Francis de Sales parish into a pregnancy center, we instead are supporting and referring parents in need to our local pregnancy and post abortion healing centers.  We are identifying and sharing the over 100 Tucson and Vail community resources with pregnant and parenting women and men.  And just as important, we are identifying and sharing post abortion healing resources. 

And when there is a gap identified in the list of Tucson resources, we will be creating our own, based on the God-given gifts of the St. Francis de Sales parishioners!

We hope you and your family will join us in Walking with Moms in Need.  For more information, please visit https://sfdstucson.org/ and/or email [email protected].
