St. Joan of Arc Catholic Parish in Arvada

Background Statement

The St. Joan of Arc Catholic Education Fund was established to help the faithful families in our community who are making the sacrifice to send their children to Catholic school. The foundation of Catholic education is found in the parish community through the instruction of faith, financial support, and continual prayers.

Through the generosity of the parish community, we have been supporting St. Joan of Arc families since 2019 in their endeavor to educate their children at Catholic schools. During the 2022/2023 academic school year we helped 53 families (94 children) with tuition assistance.

By donating to this fund, you are helping us continue this effort.

For the academic year, 2025-2026, 53 families and 112 children are hoping to receive funds to assist with their continuing Catholic Education, and together with your generosity we can help make this happen!

RECIPIENT COMMENTS

"We are so humbled and grateful to be recipients of the St. Joan of Arc Catholic School Fund. Raising a family of five children is no easy, or cheap task! To be able to give our children the gift of Catholic education, to have them surrounded by teachers and friends who love Jesus, to form their hearts in the school of prayer, is simply priceless. The saying "it takes a village" to raise children is absolute true and we are so happy we are in your village! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts."

Parents Jarod & Amy Mintz

"The St. Joan of Arc Education Fund makes it possible for us to send our kids to Catholic school! We cannot fully express our gratitude that our school values Catholic education so fervently and is willing to help families with the burden of tuition. St. Joan of Arc encourages us to grow in our Catholic faith by being more involved in our parish as well our Catholic community; therefore, helping us instill in our children an expanded knowledge of their faith as well as a deep sense of home and belonging. We will be forever grateful as a family for the St. Joan of Arc Education Fund."
