We have a number of groups and clubs that get together on a regular basis to socialize and to pursue common interests. These very popular offerings at St. Joan of Arc Parish provide a wonderful vehicle that allows us to bring our parishioners closer together and helps us to create and enhance the warm, family atmosphere that is such an important part of our Church philosophy. Some of these gatherings are purely social, while others work to provide help and support to the greater community. We welcome you to join us! Top of Page
