Mr. Dolejsi said, "Catholics have to be encouraged to step outside their comfort-zone and evolve their relationship with God from a private one to a public one". Ned will share with us his perspective on the invitation of Pope Benedict XVI in "Deus Caritas Est" which invites us to live our faith in our public lives. He will also frame this idea in tangible terms that relate to major topical issues facing us today, healthcare reform and Proposition 8.

Habitat for Humanity
St. Joan's 2010 Habitat for Humanity Plans 2010 Volunteer Build Days Announced January, 2010 marks the beginning of the 8th year of St. Joan of Arc's participation as a "Covenant Congregation" in support for the East Bay Habitat for Humanity ministry. The Parish Charities committee has once again budgeted a substantial financial donation to support the Habitat mission of providing the opportunity for hardworking low income families to achieve their dreams of decent, affordable home ownership. Well over 100 St. Joan's parishioners have volunteered their time and efforts at various habitat home projects in Alameda and Contra costa counties which have produced over 70 new homes since we began participating. We continue to have groups of 8 to 20 volunteers consisting of a good mix of dedicated hard-core regulars as well as newcomers who join our monthly build days. These volunteers will participate in the construction of 35 homes that Habitat will complete this year in Alameda and Contra Costa County.
	2010 St. Joan's Build Group Days on the 2nd Saturday of each month. The dates are as follows: March 13th............April 10th May 8th..................June 12th July 10th.............August 14th September 11th.......... October 9th November 13th....... December 11th

Where to meet? We generally meet at the church at 7:45 a.m. in the church parking lot and carpool to the work site. No personal tools are necessary and lunch is often provided.		. The work day runs from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm. and we are usually back at the church by 4-4:30 p.m.
