Welcome
We know visiting a new church can feel intimidating. Whether you’re Catholic, exploring the faith, or returning to church after many years away, we’re excited to welcome you. Here’s everything you need to know before your first visit.
One Parish, Two Campuses
St. Joan of Arc Parish worships at both our Lourdes Campus and Vianney Campus. No matter which campus you attend, you’ll find the same parish family, the same sacraments, and the same mission of growing as disciples of Jesus Christ. We encourage you to visit both campuses and experience the richness of our parish community.
That “One Parish, Two Campuses” message is going to be especially important during the first few years after the merger. It subtly reinforces the culture you’re trying to build.
Our Lady of Lourdes Campus
1506 Brown Street, Bettendorf, Iowa 52722
563-359-0345
St. John Vianney Campus
4097 18th St, Bettendorf, Iowa 52722
563-332-7910
Both campuses have full on-site parking lots.
Both campuses are easily accessible for handicapped access at the main entrances. Visit our greeters for more information about additional accommodations in the church.
You’ll find everything from jeans and t-shirts to dresses and coats. Come as you are. We care much more about your presence than your attire.
A Catholic Mass typically lasts about one hour and includes prayer, Scripture readings, a homily, and Holy Communion. Worship aids are available to help you follow along, and you’ll find people around you standing, sitting, and kneeling at various points during the service.
You are absolutely welcome here. Feel free to participate in the prayers and singing as you are comfortable. During Communion, non-Catholics and Catholics who are not receiving Communion are invited to remain in their pews or come forward with arms crossed for a blessing.
Of course! Children are an important part of our parish family, and we love having them at Mass. Don’t worry if they make a little noise. We are so glad to are bringing your children up in faith.
