St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church & School

What St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church & School does

St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church and School is a Catholic parish and co-located K-8 school operating on a single campus at 370 SW 3rd Street, Boca Raton, Florida, under the Diocese of Palm Beach. It serves registered parishioners, school families, OCIA candidates, the local Hispanic community (with a 35+ year-old Spanish-language ministry and a Sunday-evening Spanish Mass), homebound individuals, and families seeking sacraments. The parish offers a complete Catholic lifecycle: daily/weekly Mass (including Spanish-language services), the seven sacraments, religious education and sacramental preparation, OCIA for adult converts, K-8 academic education through Pre-K3 to 8th grade (Blue Ribbon School of Academic Excellence with STREAM integration), and pastoral ministries (Care Ministry, Food Pantry, Bereavement, AIM disability retreats, Men's and Women's Spiritual groups, Knights of Columbus, Hispanic prayer groups). Very Rev. Nestor L. Rodriguez, V.F. serves as Pastor; Bishop Manuel de Jesús Rodríguez leads the Diocese.

The operating model is community-led and non-donative: revenue is assembled from weekly offertory contributions (envelope, mail, online), school tuition (Pre-K3 through 8th, processed via Factsmgt.com), the annual Silver Sleigh Bells Gala auction, Religious Gift Shop retail ($11.50–$48 item range), memorial contributions with standardized tiering (altar bread $35, altar flowers $35–$95, Mass $15, perpetual Mass $50, memorial plaques $500, Walk of Honor bricks $250), planned giving (Arc-Angel Society) and endowment (School Legacy Endowment), the parish's share of the Diocesan Services Appeal, and the tiered Coat of Arms Society major-donor program ($2,500–$10,000+ annually). Tuition assistance and scholarship funds support need-based and merit-based awards.

The technology footprint is intentionally lean and vendor-supplied: RenWeb for the school management and parent portal, YouTube for Sunday Mass live streaming at 12:15pm, PayPal for online donations, and credit card authorization forms for recurring gifts. The parish has no proprietary AI/ML capability, no app, and no disclosed API. Strategic direction is articulated through the "Our Journey Forward" multi-pillar plan (Grow in Love, Service, Faith, Church, Spread the Gospel, Grow our Resources, Grow our School), with no funding rounds, M&A activity, or material restructuring in evidence. Headcount is reported as 11–50, though this likely reflects core parish staff rather than the full school and ministry organization.
