Lighting a Candle Instead of Cursing the Darkness Recognition

Some people see a problem and complain; some people see a problem and fix it. For many years, Mary Pearson has made certain that we have candles, communion hosts and wine for our liturgies. She always keeps us well stocked without any prompting. Mary is this week’s Candle Lighter.

(If you know of someone who deserves recognition for their Candle Lighting, please call Jeanie in the parish office)


Thank you to the many people who have worked on our Lenten and Holy Week Liturgies and activities. We have so many talented people at St. Jerome and you are all truly appreciated.


May the Risen Lord bless you
