Announcements for this Week:
First Communion Preparation
Students who are making their First Holy Communion at St. Jerome on Sunday, May 22 at 9:00 AM will be practicing in the Church this week. The First Communion Family Banners are DUE on Wednesday, May 18. Students who are making their First Holy Communion should arrive at 8:30 AM on Sunday, May 22 to prepare for the ceremony. Seats will be reserved for the children's families on both sides of the church, and a seating guide will be sent home this week so that you may plan to sit near your children.
Living Wax Museum
The five facts about your child's historical figure will be due on Thursday, May 19. The list of facts does not need to be written in paragraph form, but it should be organized logically and chronologically. By next week, the students should organize these five facts into a speech (written in the first person, using "I" and "my"). The speech will be due on Thursday, May 26. The performance of the Living Wax Museum will be on Wednesday, June 1 at 5:00 PM in the Parish Hall. Parents, families, and friends are welcome to join us.
School Mass
Our weekly school Mass will take place on Thursday, May 19 at 8:00 AM this week since we will be having Activity Day on Friday.
