When Faith Petric passed, SFFMC moved our musical meetings from her home in the Haight/Ashbury District of SF to St. Cyprian’s Episcopal Church. We have been informed that St. Cyprian’s is ending all rental agreements as of the end of August 2025, including the agreement providing space for our musical meetings. Our last meeting at Cyprian’s will be on August 22 from 7 pm to 11 pm.
