St. Joan of Arcers along with friends and family from around the city celebrated the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday with a grand concert featuring the incredible sounds of gospel singer, Robert Robinson and his mucical ensemble and the combined choirs of St. Joan of Arc and Mount Olivet Lutheran church.  The St. Joan of Arc auditorium was filled to capacity on Sunday night, January 15th, for this once in a life-time concert as we were filled with inspired joy and hope.  Thank you Dan Chouinard/ host and producer, Anna Vagle and Beverly Claflin, choir directors, 200 voices of the combined choirs, all of the musicians and TMychael Rambo and the countless volunteers who helped make this possible.  Witness the joy in a few picture memories!

You are invited to The Wonderful Women of SJA winter event with parishioner and guest speaker Mary Flood-Maneely on Saturday, February 11 at 9 am in Hospitality Hall.

Many people believe that forgiving is a good idea but don't know how to do it. This retreat is on the transformational power of forgiving another and addresses the 'who, what, when, why and how' questions about forgiveness. The most important reasons to forgive are freedom and peace for ourselves (and it just might benefit others too!)

Tickets are $15 and will be on sale after Mass on Sunday, January 29 and February 5 or you can register online at this link. Scholarships are available.

First Eucharist is celebrated by students in the second grade. Parents and children attend several meetings and workshops and complete the home study program together.
