 There is a new page on our website called "In Sympathy" designed to inform our parishioners of recent deaths within our parish. With such a large parish it is often difficult to be aware of who has passed away. Our hope is that this will be used as a way to honor those parishioners we have lost as well as inform fellow parishioners of their passing.
This page can be found under the "home" menu on our website at www.stjoanhershey.org or by clicking here.

These people weren’t saints because of the way they died or their visions or wondrous deeds. They were saints because of their extraordinary capacity for goodness and love, which—in the end—makes us happy. The November issue of the Parish E-Newsletter is now available!
