submitted Upendo Village is the benefit of a unique program that has empowered lives across the globe. Developed by one woman who is a member of St. Joan of Arc Parish, Grandmothers to Grandmothers has emerged from a one-time idea to an entire program, which now has an international impact. Launching in the spring of 2011, Donna Schreiber decided to make a difference by implementing a special program – one that she felt was identifiable among women, especially grandmothers.

According to school officials, St. Joan of Arc reviewed several options, intent on choosing the ones that captured the spirit of both institutions. They surveyed administration members, parish council, school board and faculty, and parishioners through one-on-one interviews. Those surveyed showed support to retain some imagery of Joan of Arc. Father Gabriel Baltes said St. Joan of Arc consists of three main components: the church, school and its ministries. The official design includes a general slogan, and three more defined taglines for each of the three sectors. The flames—altered from the previous logo—in the new design …
