May 28 Feast Day Party, Prayer Service and Procession

Wear white (if you have it!) and bring flowers for the Joan statue

The public is invited to a prayer service and procession in honor of the feast day of St. Joan of Arc on Thursday, May 28. Gather at 5:30 at the Old Ursuline Convent for a vesper prayer service at St. Mary’s chapel including St. Michael’s Angel Army medieval choir at 5:45 p.m., followed by refreshments in the Old Urusuline Convent museum and garden. Dress in white (if you have it!) and bring flowers to leave at the Joan of Arc statue at few blocks away. We will walk to the statue at approximately 6:45 p.m. after our social time. At the statue we will have a reading of our 2027 parade prayer card and brief remarks. Event ends approximately 7:15 at the statue.  

Schedule:

  • 5:30 pm Gather
  • 5:45 Vespers prayer service in St. Mary chapel
  • 6:15-6:45 Drinks and light bites with the krewe in the Old Urusuline Convent Museum and garden.
  • 6:45 Walk to Joan of Arc statue at St. Phillip and Decatur (approx 2 blocks).

The prayer service is organized by the Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc and hosted by the Catholic Cultural Center.

Note: The Feast Day of Saint Joan of Arc celebrates her life on the day she died, May 30. Our celebration, however, happens to take place on May 28th this year.

Full membership is open for 2027!

Full membership is open for the 2026-2027 year leading up to the January 6, 2027, parade!  Membership prices will increase at the close of Joan’s Feast Day (May 30) and again at All Saints Day (Nov. 1), so get yours early to get the best rate.  After much discussion, the board decided not to raise membership dues in order to keep the krewe accessible. We hope that those who can afford it will opt for a higher level of membership.  Join online here!
