Ministries

Comforting Ministry

The Comforting Ministry was organized in 1987. The purpose of

this ministry is to visit our hospitalized parishioners. The

parishioners appreciate seeing a familiar face from our parish

community while they are in the hospital.  The teams are assigned

to a certain hospital in the Rochester area for weekly visits.

 

 

Parish Life Committee

The Parish Life Committee gathers about four times a year

The purpose of this ministry is to provide fellowship and

interaction for parish families. The committee also plans social

activities for the parish, including a monthly coffee hour.

They welcome and encourage new members.

 

 

Youth Group

St. Jerome's Parish offers a variety of ways for youth to be

involved in parish activities. The Youth Group provides an

opportunity for the young of our parish to pray together, have

discussions on relevant topics, and come together for fellowship

and fun. The group participates in diocesan activities, such as

diocesan youth retreats and lock-in, movie madness nights.

parishioners to participate in acts of charity and justice.

issues.

gift of music. They sing classical and contemporary sacred music

talents with the faith community of St. Jerome's Parish.
