Father Alexander Mills VF.

To all the friends of St. Ann's Catholic Church and its Missions:

Welcome to our web page!  As Pastor of St. Ann's, I would like to tell you a little about our parishioners.  We are a growing community with a mixture of members of different cultural backgrounds.  Tubac itself is an artist's haven, and I suppose, it is for that reason that I was appointed here.

I am an artist and have a degree in Fine Art.  Whilst in Tubac I have responsibility for four small churches - St. Ann's, Assumption Chapel, St. Ferdinand's, and St. Helen's, and have tried to make them all as attractive as possible.  The communities of Tubac, Amado, and Arivaca are vibrant and sociable.  St. Helen's in Sasabe is currently inactive, but we anticipate new activities there in the near future.  They have all accepted me into their lives, and this I appreciate, since I am British, though my mother was of Greek origin.  I love the Liturgy, and have frequently helped the Diocese of Tucson with Art and Environment.

Recently I was elected Vicar Forane of Santa Cruz County, and now represent the priests and churches of the County at meetings with our Bishop, Gerald Kicanas.

My friends, I invite you to come and visit our churches - we are proud of our little treasures!
