Youth

Our Mission to You...

The Youth Ministry Program at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Community welcomes youth and their families to encounter, pray, serve and learn together.  We foster youth leadership and empower young voices,
providing space for spiritual and personal growth.  Together we grow in faith and understanding, rooting our lives in reflection, dialogue, action and hope. 

Club

"I found that it's okay to be myself while in church."

Club's an opportunity to do liturgy our way: we sing, pray, and play. It's a chance to engage with our faith through experience.

Small Group

"My questions were answered."

A chance to learn, ask questions, and engage in your faith as Catholics in today's culture. Our topics promote conversation and welcome your questions. This isn't school- it's life.
