SUMMARY:Ribbon Cutting - St. Joan of Arc Catholic School
DESCRIPTION:St. Joan of Arc Catholic School will host a ribbon cutting to celebrate their grand opening on Thursday\, September 18\, 2025 at 10:00 AM.  They are located at 6900 Hopewell Ave (the corner of Hopewell Rd and Criswell Rd) in Bettendorf\, IA.\n\n \nThis is the first catholic school built in the region in over 50 years.  For the past 106 years\, our faith community has continuously grown and provided for each generation. Starting with Our Lady of Lourdes in 1917\, then expanding north with the addition of St. John Vianney in 1967\, the Bettendorf Catholic community has faithfully witnessed to Christ.\nMore recently\, Our Lady of Lourdes and St. John Vianney have worked closely together in developing a master plan proactively to adapt to changing needs in our community. Our aging facilities and membership\; a shortage of priests\; a growing\, shifting population and recent changes to how our Catholic schools are funded bring both significant challenges and exciting opportunities.\n\nAfter conducting a planning study last fall\, our parishes have been working with diocesan leadership to set a course for action that will transform the Catholic landscape in our region. Our long-range vision is to build a new school and church at the northwest corner of Hopewell Avenue and Criswell Street and eventually seeing Our Lady of Lourdes and St. John Vianney becoming one parish.\n\n \n\nFor more information\, please visit St. Joan of Arc Foundation
