Hello, undecided battalion members!

In case any of you are considering the Flaming Heretics Battalion, I’m sharing this invitation from Flaming Heretics Battalion lieutenant Max Bernardi, to a battalion meeting at her studio. It’s fine for anyone thinking about joining the Flaming Heretics battalion to come to this meeting to meet people and hear about plans before deciding — DO RSVP though, because you will need Max’s help to get into the locked building. If any more battalion-specific events like this come up while you are still undecided, I’ll pass them along to you. -Captain Amanda

From Max:

….Wednesday May 13th, 6PM at my studio, which is #161 inside of Orleania Studios, 1525 San Ferdinand St.

I know the parade is more than 6 months away, but I would like us to collectively talk about our costumes and how we can add to our collective impact on the parade route!  I would like to also talk about our experience during the last parade- before we completely forget- and improve upon that.

I think the summer is a good time to jump start any costume-building, as we have a little breathing room before the Fall social calendar stats to fill up.  I will provide some wine and snacks, but please feel free to bring anything, including show and tell ideas! If there is anyone else you’d like to invite along, please do, and please RSVP by Monday, May 11th.

 All the best,
 Max Bernardi

Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc plans to have an information table at the festival and we REALLY NEED more volunteers to take some shifts staffing the table, especially starting about 10 a.m. to set up. It’s ideal if you can work in costume. Let us know if you can help!

Drop in to Dat Dog (5030 Freret St., map) this Sunday, March 22, from 5-7 p.m. to meet our Suffragists group of the Joan of Arc Parade Legacy Section.

Pelican Girls:

Book description: Paris, 1720. La Salpêtrière hospital is in crisis: too many occupants, not enough beds. Halfway across the world, France’s colony in the wilds of North America has space to spare and needs families to fill it. So the director of the hospital rounds up nearly a hundred female “volunteers” of childbearing age—orphans, prisoners, and mental patients—to be shipped to New Orleans.

Book Club

• Free and open to all. (No requirement to be a krewe member!)
• Books available at Frenchmen Art and Books.
• Book Club coordinater: Krewe founder Amy Kirk Duvoisin

Fête Française Saturday March 21, 11:00 – 5:00 p.m.

The Fête Française street festival celebrates all things French in New Orleans, with a full music line-up, food from French restaurants, kids games and more. It’s a fundraiser for one of our French immersion school partners, Ecole Bilingue. We need volunteer krewe members to work our information table (in costume is best). Volunteers can work in shifts; you don’t have to cover the whole day. Sign up to volunteer!

Leave NO TRASH anywhere

Krewes can be fined for trash left on the parade route or at the line-up. Make sure you do not drop any packaging or trash anywhere. Carry it until you find a trash can. The permit is expensive enough without adding fines for litter bugs.

Hot 8 Brass Band at the Jazz Museum at parade end

The regular Tuesday Live! From the Jazz Museum Balcony concert will take place in a special late time slot at 9:30 p.m., right across the street from our parade endpoint, right after our parade. Be sure to return any costumes and props to the props truck first!  Then stick around to enjoy the show, and remember to thank our 2026 King Greg Lambousy, director of the New Orleans Jazz Museum!  You may want to stash lawn chairs in your car if you’re parking near the parade endpoint, because seating is not provided for the outdoor concert.  Note: This is not a krewe after-party — it’s the regular Tuesday Live! public concert for the Jazz Museum.

This Year, We Embrace the Miracle of Joan’s Courageous Heart

This January 6th we celebrate eighteen years of marching in the French Quarter, bringing a moving spectacle of beauty, light and love through the telling of Joan of Arc’s story and her legacy. Our theme this year is “Courage”, inspired by the selected Joan of Art contest piece by local Jackson Square Artist Tara Gass-Baden, featured in this year’s medallion.

We are indeed an Army of Artists…in a world gone mad with technology, we are using our hands and hearts to create extraordinary pageantry and make human connections as we walk. Our collaborations, creations, and year-round community building through Joan are the keys to our krewe’s success.  Thank you for joining us in this battle for more beauty, more humanity, and more creativity!

If love is a battlefield, we are winning.

But, don’t let these militaristic terms arouse you too much to take up your sword.  Remember, Joan fought with her banner only! Indeed, the word courage comes from the Latin root cor, meaning “heart,” evolving through Old French corage (heart, feelings) to its current sense of bravery. But it originally meant “to speak one’s mind by telling all one’s heart” or showing one’s innermost feelings. It entered English around the 1300s, and its meaning evolved over time to focus more on valor.
But, much like our parade’s simple beginnings, the word was meant to convey something profoundly basic: Speaking your heart.

It is no coincidence that this year’s wooden doubloon image is in fact Joan of Arc’s heart. Because “Joan’s heart did not burn. “

While there is scientific reason for this, the miraculous version is more poetic: Her heart did not burn because nothing can destroy love. Her executioners could never destroy her love for God and for France. Her heart is eternal, and so is she!

This year, we embrace the miracle of Joan’s courageous heart.

And like the word courage, the word miracle has a simple definition as well. At its core it means “a wonderful thing”. It comes from the Latin miraculum, meaning “object of wonder,” derived from mirari (“to wonder at”) and mirus (“wonderful”). 

Like the story of Joan’s indestructible heart, the Joan of Arc Parade is a miracle, and a wonderful thing– thanks to all of you!  Your endless dedication and generosity these past two decades–and especially this year — keeps us building, sharing, conversing and creating events inspired by Joan, who inspires us all.

Let’s go forth and bring love into 2026– with courage, heart and wonder!

As Joan said during the Siege of Orleans:  “Courage! Do not fall back; in a little the place will be yours!” 

On January 6, the place is ours. 

Happy 614th Birthday, Joan!  Allons-y!

11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Church at 1031 S. Carrollton. Use the side entrance on Zimple St.

All throws ready for pick-up!

Purchased Signature Throws Pick-Up

If you placed an online pre-order for throws, you can pick your throws up at the New Year’s Work Party. ALL the throws orders will be on site for pick-up regardless of which pick-up date you specified on your order. You can get your throws early at the New Year’s Work Party even if you specified a banquet pick-up (and every order picked up today is an order we don’t have to carry to the banquet!) 

“Free” Throws Pick-Up

Full members get a packet of throws included “free” with your membership: 20 tea lights, 20 prayer cards, a box of 50 matches, a collector pack of one of each of this year’s playing cards, and 5 wood doubloons. These packets are for full members only — not companion members. These packets MUST be picked up at the New Year’s Work Party by 2:30 p.m. If you are unable to pick up your throws bag today, the best strategy is to get a krewe friend to pick yours up for you.  Or, text Captain Amanda 504-940-4976 to have her reserve your bag and make arrangements to pick it up from her.  No throws bags will be brought to the parade line-up. 

At 2:30 p.m., throws bags not either picked up or reserved will be distributed to others. So if you’d like to score some extras, hang around until 2:30! The reason we do it this way is that one bag of 20 tea lights is easy to manage, but they are fragile and awkward to transport in bulk at a time when leaders’ cars are usually packed to the roof with other things.

Parade Wristbands

Get your parade wristband today!  If you already have your wristband, bypass the check-in at line-up and go straight to your place in the line-up.

Thursday, January 1: New Year’s Work Party

Most members have a reason to at least stop by this workshop, which makes it a bustling party. Group leaders and full members should pick up parade wristbands. Full members will be picking up throws, foot soldiers will be picking up costumes, and everyone will be working on making our signature tea light throws. 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. in the Parish Hall of Saint Andrew’s Episcopal Church at the corner of Carrollton and Zimple (1031 S. Carrollton, map). Enter from the side door on Zimple. Show off your own projects or bring a snack or wine to share if you like.  Delicious holiday leftovers welcome. Dress: casual.

Action items:

• Volunteers needed: Sign up to help with loading in, packing out, food, wristband distribution or sale table
• If you picked up tea light kits to assemble, be sure to bring your assembled tea lights at the start of the work party (at 11 a.m.) so we can add the other goodies to member throw bags and get them ready for pick-up.
