LETTER FROM THE PASTOR

CATHOLIC EDUCATION is above all a question of communicating CHRIST.
 - Saint John Paul II

Dear Saint Joan of Arc School Family,
​
         It seems as if every year I write this letter to tell you that something new is happening at our school.  Since 2019, we bought the new school, renovated the first and second floors, completely built the third floor, and dedicated our beautiful chapel.  So much in just a few years!
         I thought this year would be the time to take a breather and rest on our laurels but I found out that the Hershey Presbyterian Church, which was renting space from us, found its own space off-site and we would have available rooms to use.  What to do? 
         Our decision was to open “Saint Joan of Arc ‘Little Knights’ Daycare”.  In approximately three months we had our daycare up and running.  (I only found out recently that this is really an accomplishment!)  Our school is meeting the needs of our parish and community families by offering childcare and education for children from 6 months old to eighth grade.  What a blessing!
         Thank you to all who make our school the wonderful place it truly is!
Sincerely yours in Christ,
 
Father Al
