P.O.R.T(People Offering Resources Together)-Saint Jerome will be hosting the annual homeless PORT event from 8-15 January, beginning at 5:30 pm to 7:00 am each day and needs Volunteers.

Jesus Calms Our Waters In our lives, there are moments, when only Jesus can stop our torments. Those daily struggles that burden the soul, He comes to us and makes us whole. Oh Jesus, calm the winds of fear we hide. Smooth the waves of greed and pride.Calm our storms of anger and hate. Calm the storms that dim our sight, that block the path to your wonderful light. Calm the storms that lead us to sin. Give us courage, peace and love within. Let us be a witness to those we meet, the rich, the poor, the stangers on the street. Let us serve them in this great land, for they too may have storms at hand. Until our dying day, until we finally rest, help us rise each day and do our very best. Before the rains wash our strength away. Calm our storms Lord, each and every day. Paul A. Jones |
