The Centennial Project

Welcome to the Centennial Project Campaign

In 2020, St. Joan of Arc was able to purchase a state-of-the-art building on Sand Hill Road to be used for our school and REP students. This purchase allowed the previous school to be used for parish and ministry needs while also increasing our ability for rental income through the expansion of the kitchen and renovation of the Social Hall. This entire project was made possible through the generosity of our parishioners, parents, and community members who gave to our Capital Campaign, The Centennial Project.

Journey So Far

The new school occupies a 100,000+ sf building that sits on 36 acres of Hershey real estate. It was our hope when buying this campus that we would grow into the space in the coming years. Yet, since the purchase of the school in 2020 we have already enrolled 137 more students. With this continued increase, we will not have enough classrooms to accommodate the anticipated number of students next year. The great news is that the school has an entire third floor that is unfinished and just waiting for our middle schoolers! With this renovated floor, the school would not have to turn a single student away.

St. Joan of Arc Parish

With the acquisition of the Sand Hill road property, the parish was able to reclaim the previous school building and begin to renovate and upgrade. This rejuvenation of the parish facilities provides much needed space for our 60+ ministries and organizations. In order to better use this space, part of the campaign called for the expansion of the kitchen and renovation of the Social Hall. This component of the campaign allowed for a beautiful space for parish activities as well as space for wedding receptions, funeral luncheons, and large group meetings.
