Friends of Patronato Courtyard Chat & Yard Sale

Saturday, September 26, 2026 | 3:00 – 5:00 pm
Mission San Xavier del Bac
1950 W San Xavier Rd, Tucson, AZ 85746

This informal gathering in the courtyard of the Mission is a chance to meet Brooks, hear his perspective on Patronato San Xavier’s future, and learn about his approach to leadership as he guides the organization into its next phase. Enjoy a casual, moderated conversation and updates on current and upcoming conservation projects with Patronato San Xavier leadership followed by Q&A.

We also have a little treasure hunting in store! As we’ve been clearing out storage spaces and taking stock of items Patronato no longer needs, we’ve uncovered photographs of the Mission, artwork, and other unique treasures. Courtyard Chat guests will have the first opportunity to browse and purchase these items at our Yard Sale during the event.

But wait, there’s more!
Following the event, we encourage you to stay and enjoy the San Xavier District Swap Meet taking place from 5:00 – 10:00 pm in the plaza in front of the Mission. Browse local vendors, indulge in fry bread, and connect with members of the community.

Patronato’s Christmas at San Xavier

Tuesday, December 8 & Wednesday, December 9, 2026 

Once again, this year’s series will comprise just four concerts so tickets will sell fast. Invitations go out to our Concert Friends in early October. Concert Friends are people who have made a philanthropic gift of $100 or more to Patronato’s Annual Fund, Project Restricted Fund or Permanent Endowment. Click here to learn more!
