Calendar of activities to be published in the fall for 2024-2025 – More to be added as we learn of additional events
*Advent Family Lessons are now available here! There is no stamp requirement for the two at-home Advent lesson activities, just a family reflection sheet which can be completed online. Please read through the link for all options and directions.
The due date for logs is May 31, 2025. We strongly suggest taking a picture of the log following each stamp, in case it is lost. Extra logs and Mass reflection sheets will be available in the Church in the gathering room (located on the left when you walk in to the front vestibule). You can also download and print them here: Family Activity Log, Special Mass Reflection Sheet.
Please do not submit the log or Mass reflections via email; everything must be handed in in hard copy format. Logs and any Mass reflections can be handed in to the office either in person, in our drop-off/pick-up bin (located right outside the front doors of the school facing the parking lot), or via mail to: St. Joan of Arc Religious Education Office, 101 Evans Road, Marlton, NJ 08053.

- Kids Lit (1 stamp)** – Children’s Liturgy of the Word is held at 9am Mass 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month, and 10:30am Mass weekly (except 5th Sunday and holidays) during the school year. For Kids Lit, you attend Mass with your child (each child must have an adult there) and children are called to the altar prior to the readings by Msgr. Rich or Fr. JM. Kids Lit leaders bring the children to Pedata Hall from then until right before Communion so they can help to break open the readings. Children are brought back to the church to rejoin their parents before Communion. *Please see Melissa Eisenstock for your stamp. Please click here for additional information about Kids Lit.

**Notes:
For events that happen weekly/regularly, i.e., Kids Lit, Family Movie Night, BLAZE for middle school girls, children can receive one stamp for the log – please note that children and families are welcomed and encouraged to attend these regular events as often as they like!
For special Masses, we will not have stamps. In place of a stamp, we have a Mass reflection form that can be filled out. Reflection forms should be included in the log when it is handed in.
