About

Our Sacred Purpose 
Our sacred purpose at St. Jerome Catholic Church is to become Holy Disciples on the path to heaven. In the midst of a welcoming community we learn the teachings of our faith by celebrating Word and Sacrament as we grow in our personal relationship with Jesus Christ. 

The Vision that Ignites Us
St. Jerome Catholic Church will give thanks to God for how the Holy Spirit is working in our community, making us disciples of Jesus.  We will ignite and strengthen the faith of those we encounter, by being a welcoming parish that embraces the diversity of our community.  As a parish, we will demonstrate our willingness to share our unique gifts of time, talent, and treasure.  Others will witness our deepened personal relationships with Christ and recognize our firm belief that God has provided us with every blessing.  St. Jerome Catholic Church will support an increase in the number of active parishioners seeking to deepen their faith.  Inspired by the Holy Spirit, our actions will ignite faith, build community, and make disciples.

Parish Logo
The St. Jerome logo incorporates a Bible in which St. Jerome translated most of his life.  The logo also shows a dove representing the Holy Spirit.  The dove carries forward our 50th anniversary logo from 2012 and in our old glass windows on the main entrance doors.  The cross in the wing reminds us of our Christian beliefs and acts as a turning page of the Bible.  Thank you to Joe Pinciotti and UP Design Group for designing a beautiful logo for our parish community.
