St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church - Boca Raton (FL)

1 /5 b. d: Priest at Sunday mass lectured everyone about how bad deportations are, without ever mentioning that Catholic charities has been actively participating utilizing funding from USAID in bringing those same migrants (including the criminals that are being targeted for deportation) here to begin with, without concern for the horrors they endured by cartels and the many children being exploited on the way and after they get here. How many of those people has the church or the Vatican helped after they got dumped in the streets once funds ran out? The church should stay out of politics and human trafficking. This needed to be said unfortunately, and it’s all coming out now. Practice what you preach!

3 /5 Donna Brown: Although this is a beautiful church and I had belonged to it for many years, I was recently very disappointed. My mother recently passed away. She was a parishioner since 1977. She and my father were ushers for 20 years at the 4:30 Mass. When my sister and I requested a priest for the last rites at Vitas hospice in Delray Beach we were sternly told that it was too far for one of their priests to travel. Since she was 94, and not well, she had been attending Mass at the skilled nursing facility where she lived and not St. Joan of Arc. So, when she was buried at the Mausoleum, practically across the street from St. Joan of Arc, we didn’t bother asking for a priest since we got the impression that they didn’t want to help. We had the funeral home arrange for a priest who came all the way from Fort Lauderdale. He was so nice and caring. He even called us the next day to see how we were doing. It worked out for the better.

5 /5 Bunny Rabbit: I find it wonderful that the church is brave enough, like Jesus and Joan of Arc, to speak against the suffering of those being deported. If not the spiritual leaders, then who? Who will be brave enough to speak?

5 /5 Lee Sylvester: When we are vacationing in Boca, weve come here several times. The parishioners are friendly and welcoming. The music ministry uplifting and church is beautiful and the atmosphere the clergy have built very conducive to spiritual thought, refection and prayer. As a result of the lovely environment our college going daughter adopted St Joans as her Parish away from home.

1 /5 Moi Moi: They don’t offer mass weekdays or Saturday in the main church. They use a small, crowded, hot and uncomfortable chapel on the side of the main temple. You built the church to offer mass not to have it closed 6 day per week. Imagine what Jesus would think about this priest “saving” the main temple just because may use more electricity. Idiotic.
