“I think it made me feel such a sense of joy that our new building is open now and it will be available to have community events in a space that will hold more people. We have always used our church hall and that was a wonderful space – always filled with much joy. But the new parish life center will bring a new sense of renewed hope and take our eyes to the future, while leaning on our past for a very firm foundation” 

– Mary Beth Nocket 

On March 10, 2024, Archbishop William E. Lori dedicated the new daily Mass Chapel and Parish Life Center at St. Joan of Arc Parish in Aberdeen MD. This short video captures some of the moments of this joyful occasion in the history of our parish. We thank all our donors, parishioners, construction team and all who tok a hand in this huge project. We especially thank our pastor, Rev. William F. Franken, for his vision, support, and steady guiding hand.
