Welcome New Members & Guests!


Rolls & Coffee

Offered Sunday mornings after the 7:30 & 9:30 a.m. Masses, October through May. All parishioners and visitors are invited and encouraged to stay after Mass to meet and socialize. There are too few opportunities for members of St. Joan of Arc to meet and talk. New parishioners have even less of an opportunity to get involved and meet people, and the rolls and coffee help to meet this end. The St. Joan of Arc choir members earn a modest profit from donations, which help them acquire material for use at our liturgies. For more information to volunteer for this committee contact Ron McLaughlin at 419-866-6181.


Newcomers Dinners

Newcomers dinners occur five times a year. All families joining St. Joan of Arc Parish are invited to attend a get-to-know you dinner hosted by some of our “seasoned parishioners”. St. Joan of Arc staff members prepare the event. The majority of the evening is spent getting to know the new members of our parish family and helping them get acquainted with what St. Joan of Arc has to offer to them, as well as some ways in which they can offer their time and talent to their new parish.
