We are blessed to have a collection of 9 paintings by PAUL JONES, a former parishioner - for these we are so thankful.
Paul Jones was a self-taught artist with an incredible talent and we are very fortunate to have some of his amazing work.
Please make it an effort to see all 9 paintings located within the lobby, the confessional, and the Faith and Life Center.
All of the paintings are very special to us but two in particular have extra special meaning. Jesus with the Children is personal to our parish community; The children portrayed are children of the St Jerome Parish. The second painting, Mary (the Angel) and the Lion, represents Paul and Brook Jones' daughter, their beloved Mary, who passed away days before her first birthday near Christmas. The Jones' faith was so inspirional that despite their grief, they were thankful to have God as Mary's babysitter until they are together again.
Please enjoy these paintings and please say a prayer for Mary and the Jones Family.
You will notice that several of the paintings do not have frames and we ask that you consider adopting one of these paintings to have it framed or that you make a contribution towards that goal.
