Student - Faculty Kickball Game

On Friday, March 30, Student Council is bringing back a classic St. Jerome tradition - the Student- Faculty Kickball Game! There will be a raffle ticket fundraiser for students to win a chance to participate in the game. All students should wear their P.E. uniforms for the day and be ready to cheer on their team!

Operation Rice Bowl

The Lenten season calls us to three missions at this time of year: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Please encourage your children to participate by donating money to Operation Rice Bowl in the small boxes distributed at the beginning of Lent. The boxes will be collected during Holy Week, the first week of April.

Holy Week

St. Jerome celebrates Holy Week with a series of traditions which will culminate with Mass on Easter Sunday. The living Stations of the Cross will be performed on Thursday, April 5.
