St. Jerome Newsletter Updates:Jan 20(link)
ATTENTION
Dear St. Jerome Parishioners:
I was notified that an individual who most recently visited the parish on Sunday, January 17, 2021 and attended the 9:00 AM Mass has tested positive for COVID-19. The individual is receiving the appropriate medical care.
Following diocesan protocols, I immediately notified the local health department and our diocesan officials to make them aware of the situation.
Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and diocesan guidelines, the spaces occupied by this individual have been closed for an airing out and have been cleaned and disinfected.
Out of care and concern for every staff member and volunteer, I urge you to contact your primary health care provider immediately if you feel ill.
Masses and reconciliation will proceed as normal this weekend.
Please join me in praying for this individual and all who are affected by COVID-19 at this time.
In Christ,
Fr. George Prado
Per Governor Northam
On November 13, Governor Northam amended executive order 63 regarding gathering size. Most importantly, we can still hold Mass as we have the last several months
The few changes related to Mass are:
*Individuals attending religious services must wear “cloth” face coverings in accordance with Amended Executive Order 63.
*Individuals, five years of age and older, are required to wear a cloth face covering.
*Individuals who cannot wear a cloth face covering due to health reasons are still exempt from wearing masks but should wear a face shield. Any person who declines to wear a cloth face covering because of a medical condition shall not be required to produce or carry medical documentation verifying the medical need.
The order, going into effect Sunday night, will not limit the size of Liturgical celebrations, only social gatherings such as meetings or parties.
|
Masses will be posted Tues-Friday The Saturday 5:00 Vigil is livestreamed and will be posted Saturday evening. |

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.

If you would like to meet others within the parish and share God’s love with them, become a greeter! Please contact the parish office at 757-877-5021 for more information

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 |
