The Christmas Giving Tree Program, sponsored by the St. Vincent de Paul Society, is underway! St. Joan of Arc parishioners have been very generous in the past creating a blessed Christmas for our neighbors in need!!! Trees decorated with ornaments listing recipient names and suggested gifts will be placed in the church on Saturday, Nov. 25th and remain until Dec. 3th.
Gifts will be collected in the Cafeteria ONLY during these times: December 9th before and after the 5:15 pm Mass and December 10th before the 7:30 am Mass until 1:00 pm. Please note: Gifts will not be accepted in the parish office. We cannot collect after the Sunday 5:30 Mass as the organizations pick up the gifts earlier in the day.
