To begin the welcome process, please complete this interest form or fill out a blue card at the break of the pews and drop it into the collection basket or mail it to the parish office.
Melinda Rivelli, our Pastoral Associate, will contact you to schedule a brief meeting. Whenever possible, we try to arrange for several new parishioners to gather at once as to give you an opportunity to meet others who are also considering joining our parish.
During the new parishioner meeting, you will receive a packet of information regarding the parish as well as a new parishioner registration form.
In addition to the meeting, a parishioner will be asked to be your “parish companion.” Your parish companion will try to answer any questions you might have regarding St. Joan of Arc and will help introduce you to other people. They also will stand with you at the Rite of Welcome for New parishioners.
Welcome Masses are offered periodically throughout the year in which Fr. Tom offers a blessing for the new parishioners after the homily. A welcome reception follows the Mass.
We hope you find this membership process to be one that brings you a true sense of belonging in a warm and hospitable Christian community. Again, we are grateful you are here and pray that you feel welcome and at home at St. Joan of Arc.
