“Dear altar boys and altar girls, the closer you are to the altar, the more you will remember to speak with Jesus in daily prayer; the more you will be nourished by the Word and the Body of the Lord, the better able you will be to go out to others, bringing them the gift that you have received, giving in turn with enthusiasm the joy you have received.”

- Pope Francis, August 2015

Picture
Parishioners who have received First Holy Communion and are entering at least the 3rd grade in August are invited to be a part of this important liturgical ministry within our parish. To enroll for the summer training, click here. The deadline for enrollment is July 8, 2018.

Congratulations to Kate Naughton for earning the National Girl Scout Religious Award, “Spirit Alive”
recently. This award program is designed to assist girls in grades 9-12 in discovering how the Holy Spirit
moves within their lives, calling them to a greater participation in the ministry of the Church. Kate will
be recognized by Bishop Gainer for achieving this award at the annual Scout Mass on April 22, 2018 at
Good Shepherd Church. Because Kate has earned at least three National Girl Scout Religious Emblems,
she is now a recipient of the prestigious Region 3 Scout Award.

Life Teen Clothing Drive THANK YOU!

A message from our Youth Coordinator...

Every year, I'm blown away by the generosity of the people of St. Joan of Arc.  Last week Life Teen had our annual clothing drive to support the ministries and missions of Harrisburg.  We collected over 140 bags of clothes and that was awesome.  
 
The weekend and the week that follows is always a rush, physically and emotionally.  Parishioners don't get to see the teens work really hard sorting the clothes and bagging them up to get them ready for delivery.  Teens don't get to see the fruit of that labor as I deliver the needed items to the Catholic Worker House, Silence of Mary, Downtown Daily Bread, Shalom House, and Shining Light.  
 
A couple of these places, it's a drop and go with little to no interaction with anyone.  With Downtown Daily Bread and Shining Light, I was able to sit and talk with 10 gentleman and 4 women who would be getting these much needed warm clothes and coats.  They were eternally grateful. Being able to sit and talk with these men put a face on why we have this clothing drive every year.  With that I thank you for your continued support of this yearly event.  Without you this wouldn't be possible. I pray for God's peace and grace to all.
 
Pax,
John
