We, the Eucharistic Community of St. Joan of Arc Parish, by the grace of God and through our participation in His Word, the Church’s sacraments, and prayer, seek our eternal salvation.

We live out the doctrines and traditions of our Faith in communion with the holy, catholic, and apostolic Church, established by Our Lord Jesus Christ.

With courage, we follow the example of our patron saint and invoke her intercession as we strive to know God, love God and serve God which moves us to actively promote and live the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the midst of our every day life.

Church we will do it! The gift of faith is a precious one and, whether that faith is strong or weak, the Church is here to assist you in coming to know and

love and serve our Lord Jesus Christ, whose birth we celebrate today. May God bless you and all our parishioners during this special time of year!

A Christmas Day Prayer

Praise to You, Lord God!

You have become one of us - You

have become a human being, while still retaining all

your power and holiness as God!

You, O Lord, made the journey of the unborn child.

By being an embryo, a fetus, and a newborn, you

joined all unborn and newborn children to you!

From the beginning of history, O Lord, You were the

Creator of every human life. Now, with Christmas,

You join Yourself in an unthinkable way with the life

You created.

Let this Christmas, O God, fill all of us with awe and

wonder at how close human life is to You. Cleanse

the world of all that tarnishes and rejects this gift.

Purify our hearts of all that fears this gift.

Let our Christmas joy be the joy of welcoming every

human life! Amen!
