SJA "Messengers of Welcome"
Several months ago, a new ministry was started by a
group designated Messengers of Welcome, with the objective of
welcoming new parish-ioners to St. Joan of Arc Parish. After they have
registered with the Parish Office, new parishioners are contacted by a
“Messenger” by phone and offered the opportunity for a brief personal
visit, either at home or, more typically, at the church after a Sunday
Mass. The “Messenger” offers an information packet about the parish,
including several small gifts, and addresses any questions or concerns
the new parishioners may have. Questions about
Messengers of Welcome
may be directed to the Parish
Office at 963-4500.
Did you know???
….that SJA collects diapers and other baby needs on
behalf of Birthright of DuPage — a crisis pregnancy center that provides
counseling and assistance? At the end of the LINK (hallway between the
church and the school) there is a baby crib to collect donations.
