Join the Men’s Club!
The St. Joan of Arc Men’s Club is the principal social organization for adult men in our parish. The purpose of the Club is to promote fellowship, friendship, and spiritual values among our members, the parish, and the community at large. Through service in the parish, we provide ongoing support to our parish and help to address the unique needs of the Church Community.
We accomplish our mission in part by:
- Organizing the Family Christmas Festival
- Organizing the Thanksgiving & Easter food box drives that support the Home for Families Foundation
- Perform regular and routine work needed for the Church as follows:
- Help with Lenten Fish Fry
- Various seasonal activities around the SJOA church grounds
- Setup of the Social Hall for special Masses and other events
- Raising funds through our annual Super Bowl sub-sale, Ham sale, and other fundraisers during the year to support our programs
- Hosting the John Orban Memorial Golf Tournament held the first Saturday in August
- Organizing a Monday Night Golf League from late April through mid-August
- Hosting trips to professional sports games each year
- For example Columbus Blue Jackets hockey and Columbus Crew soccer
- Attending an OSU Hockey game
- Attending Columbus Clipper Night with our children and grandchildren
- Celebrating a Christmas dinner & dance party
- Attending Picnic at the Pops
- Hosting several poker nights and one bowling night during the year
- Gather for social time and pizza after monthly meetings
The Men’s Club established and manages the Luther Orick Scholarship Trust Fund, which provides tuition support for students in Catholic high schools.
All men of the parish who are at least 21 years of age are welcome and encouraged to join us. We have approximately 100 members and accept new members at any time. Annual dues are $36. The Club meets on the first Thursday of the month at 7:30 p.m. in Rooms 1 and 2. Meetings last about an hour and are followed by fellowship at a local establishment.
