Welcome to St. Joan of Arc

We celebrated our first mass here at St. Joan of Arc in 1956. We have since grown into a community of over 6,500 families. We offer a variety of masses and have over 60 ministries.

St. Joan of Arc is actively involved in the community and church issues. Our web site contains a great deal of information regarding St. Joan of Arc Church. If you require further assistance, please contact us at (561)392-0007

The Ascension of the Lord

The gospel today makes it all clear in Christ’s final words. He gives His disciples the Great Commission. This is the fruit of Christ’s coming. Our salvation is why He came to earth. The Ascension is not about the end of Christ’s days on earth; it is about the beginning of the universal church. It is not so much about Christ as it is about us, the kingdom and our role in it. We who have been blessed with the knowledge of Christ, must go out and take action. We must share our faith with believers and nonbelievers, knowing that Christ promised He would be with us always, until the end of time.

Women of Grace - A Powerful Catholic Study Just For You

Pope John II, asked women to accept God's urgent call to "aid humanity in to not falling."  Did you know that God created you for a very special purpose and mission and that your womanhood is part of His plan?  In this Women of Grace Foundational Study Series, you will embark upon a journey of discovery and transformation as you explore the great call and gift of your femininity.  You'll delve into prayer, Sacred Scripture, Church documents and teachings, the Cathecism and the lives of women saints.  By looking to the Blessed Virgin Mary who is our exemplar, you will find a spiritual path that leads you to the heart of the Father and the abundant life of Jesus Christ.

A nine week series will be offered in the morning, afternoon, and evening at the Spiritual Life House.
