 General Description:

The 13-year-old shepherd girl Joan knew that her poor country, France, was suffering terribly. There had been so much fighting between France and England, and the French Prince Charles did not even have the strength to claim his throne. As time went on, Joan began hearing the voices of St. Michael the Archangel, St. Margaret of Antioch and St. Catherine of Alexandria, preparing her for an amazing mission. She was commanded to go lead Prince Charles to the city of Rheims to be crowned King.

Joan made her way to the French court. There Prince Charles gave her some soldiers with which to drive the English out of France, as her voices had directed her. Then 17-year-old Joan led the troops into battle, winning wonderful victories. She led the Prince to Rheims Cathedral, where he was crowned King Charles the Seventh of France.

Joan's heavenly voices told her that her chief work on earth was finished; now her task was to suffer. Some evil men had her thrown into prison-then some disloyal Frenchmen sold her to the English. Many lies were told against Joan, and she was sentenced to be burned at the stake.

Before she died, Joan asked for a cross to kiss. Holding the cross, her last word was "Jesus!" As the smoke and fire consumed her body, Joan's beautiful brave soul went home to God. Joan of Arc is now Patroness of France and a Saint of the Universal Church.

St. Joan Of Arc

Feast Day: Roman Rite Calendar - 05/30 Tridentine Calendar - 05/30 Patron Of: France, Imprisoned, Martyrs, Prisoners, Rape Victims, Soldiers Profile One of five children born to Jacques d'Arc and Isabelle Romee. Shepherdess. Mystic. From age 13 she received visions from Saint Margaret of Antioch, Saint Catherine of Alexandria, and Michael the Archangel. In the early 15th century, England, in alliance with Burgundy, controlled most of what is modern France. In May 1428 Joan's visions told her to find the true king of France and help him reclaim his throne. She resisted for more than three years, but finally went to Charles VII in Chinon and told him of her visions. Carrying a banner that read "Jesus, Mary", she led troops from one battle to another. She was severely wounded, but her victories from 23 February 1429 to 23 May 1430 brought Charles VII to the throne. Captured by the Burgundians during the defence of Compiegne, she was sold to the English for 10 thousand francs. She was put on trial by an ecclesiastical court conducted by Cauchon, Bishop of Beauvais, a supporter of England, and was excuted as a heretic. In 1456 her case was re-tried, and Joan was acquitted (23 years too late). "About Jesus Christ and the Church, I simply know they're just one thing, and we shouldn't complicate the matter." - Saint Joan of Arc, as recorded at her trial Born 6 January 1412 at Greux-Domremy, Lorraine, France Died burned alive on 30 May 1431 at Rouen, France Beatified     11 April 1905 by Pope Saint Pius X Canonized     16 May 1920 by Pope Benedict XV All information used with permission of the Patron Saint Index.
