MICAH Service
MICAH Service is an opportunity where youth in grades 6-12 are encouraged to serve once a month with an agency or organization that promotes Catholic Social Teaching. Youth sign up for a service site online after the program year orientation meeting in September. Youth are mentored and supervised by Service lead volunteers. MICAH typically happens on the Third Sunday of the month. Please indicate your first, second and third choice. Youth will have the opportunity to serve at one site per year.

"MASS" - Mass and Service Support
St. Joan of Arc welcomes over 1000 parishioners and visitors every Sunday morning. You will work with our greeters and hospitality ministers to hand out bulletins, open doors, help people find seats, prepare and serve coffee, cookies, and juice. You will serve as a welcoming presence to our community!
Third Sunday of the month, 9am Mass or 11am Mass.
Sister Parish/Alfombra
This group engages in a relationship with youth from our Sister Parish in Tierra Nueva Dos in Guatemala. They take the year to design and then build a beautiful Alfombra on the Saturday before Easter Sunday, and is then revealed on Easter morning on the plaza in front of the Gym entrance.

This is a non-profit that sends hopeful message packets to families who have recently had a family member die.
