St. Joan of Arc

We are so excited for the new early learning programs we will be rolling out for the 2019-2020 school year. The need for high quality Catholic early educational programming is critical for our community! As we have settled into the amazing new Early Learning Center, we have discovered that the need for quality early learning has outpaced our ability to accommodate new families. In order to welcome some of the families looking for a place for their child, our programming will look a bit different than in the past. The Early Learning Center located at 4186 Broadway Street will only offer infant and toddler programming, while the preschool age children (3 to 5 years of age) will be located at St. Joan of Arc Catholic School. The preschool program will be expanding to offer several different programming options including part time, school day (TK), and extended day.

Catechesis is an essential work of the Church which we are called to participate in by virtue of our baptism. Beginning in the home and permeating parish life, catechesis attempts to echo the faith in the liturgy, sacraments, words and works. Sunday Faith Formation is for children ages four to eighth grade and seeks to help parents in their role as first teacher of the faith by offering students opportunities to grow closer to God and deepen their spiritual lives, both on an individual basis and as a community of faith. Please contact Joe Sheehan at jsheehan@sjoa.org if you would like to register your child for the 2019-2020 year.

This year we will be hosting a combined Vacation Bible School at Immaculate Heart of Mary for both Immaculate Heart of Mary and St. Joan of Arc families because of construction at St. Joan of Arc Church.  We are very excited to announce the new Vacation Bible School theme, Roar: Life is Wild, God is Good. Children ages four to eleven will learn about Jesus, the Saints, prayer and Sacred Scripture through music, games and fun activities. At the end of the four action packed days, children will leave with a greater understanding of their Catholic faith and a few surprises.
