History

St. Joan of Arc Parish was established in 1927 to serve the growing Catholic population of Kokomo, Indiana, a city that experienced significant industrial development in the early twentieth century.[1] Named in honor of Saint Joan of Arc, who had been canonized just seven years prior to the parish's founding, the parish reflects the broader wave of American Catholic enthusiasm for the newly canonized saint during that era.

Over the decades, the parish has continued to serve the Kokomo area within the Diocese of Lafayette in Indiana, adapting to the changing needs of its congregation while maintaining its historic dedication.[2] No further confirmed details regarding building campaigns, expansions, or renovations are documented in available sources.
