Beware Pastor Scams
Pictured : Sample fake emails and texts sent to fellow parishioners pretending to be Fr. George
Sadly this is an announcement we have to make once and a while, and while it's not unique to our parish, that doesn't make it any less upsetting.
Should you receive an email or text message from anybody purporting to be Father George and requesting your help or a donation please do not respond to it. He would not contact you asking for donations or gift cards in such a way. If you are skeptical of any communications, forward the email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or call the office directly at 757-877-5021. The office staff will be more than happy to find out if the message is legitimate.
Report spam texts to your carrier. Copy the original message and forward it to 7726 (SPAM) free of charge, if you are an AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, or Sprint subscriber.
These scams are not isolated events at our church only, they happen across the country and across all denominations.

Where do I fit in here? If you are asking yourself this question? Are you looking to find where you can fit into ministry here at St. Jerome?

Don’t see a ministry you are interested in? Please contact the parish office at 757-877-5021 and share your interests and ideas for any ministries.
Greeters:Isn’t it nice when someone welcomes you to church? Greeters present a welcoming hand, warm heart, and a friendly face to all parishioners and visitors who enter the doors of St. Jerome.

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 |
