We are Saint Joan of Arc
Our Parish
Welcome! We are a vibrant parish community within the Archdiocese of Chicago and the Roman Catholic Church.
We are located in the Evanston/Skokie north suburbs of Chicago. Like that of our patron St. Joan of Arc, we commit ourselves to building a community of strong Catholic values, which promotes a personal and active faith in God, social awareness and social action, and intellectual growth.
Our School
Our dynamic grade school for preschool through 8th grade students is an integral part of our parish. It has been providing an exceptional Catholic education in the Chicago area for children for more than 50 years. The school offers a close-knit community and a quality education rooted in Catholic traditions. Our school’s mission is to engage, challenge, and inspire our students to become life-long learners and citizens committed to service and to God. Learn more about our school by visiting www.sjasaints.org.
A Note from Our Pastor - Father James Kehoe
Welcome to the St. Joan of Arc Website. We are a smaller parish that leverages our size well in doing great things for the Lord in the Evanston-Skokie community.
As you glance through these web pages, I hope you will feel free to contact us if you have any questions about any aspect of our parish community. I also hope you will reflect on the ways you can become actively involved in our parish life. There is certainly a niche for everyone! All of the activities and ministries are designed to promote the building up of the Body of Christ in our midst. Your presence and participation, whether at liturgies, our various ministries or functions, become a vital component of our ongoing growth as your own gifts and talents are shared with the entire parish community.
May we keep each other in prayer as we journey daily closer to the Lord!
