"All battles are first won or lost in the mind. Go forward bravely. Fear nothing. Trust in God; all will be well." - St. Joan of Arc (c. 1412-1431)

St. Joan of Arc was born in France during the Hundred Years' War. She began receiving visions of St. Michael and other angels and saints, telling her to drive out the English. At 18, Joan led the French army to victory over the British at Orleans. Her additional victories made way for the coronation of Charles VII. At 19, she was accused of heresy and burned at the stake. A retrial in 1456 declared her innocent, making her a martyr.

Her patronage includes France, military personnel, people ridiculed for their piety, prisoners, and soldiers.

St. Joan of Arc, pray for us!

We are coming to the end of Mental Health Awareness Month. The Diocese is working to animate Mental Health Ministry throughout our 23-county footprint to support our families, clergy, parishes, schools, and communities.

Mental Health Ministry is a growing field within the Catholic Church. It’s designed to provide vital spiritual accompaniment by offering a ministry of presence in the lives of people with mental illness, to help overcome the stigma and discrimination that people living with a mental illness encounter in the Church and in human society.
