“He will provide the way and the means, such as you could never have imagined. Leave it all to Him, let go of yourself. Lose yourself on the Cross, and you will find yourself entirely.”
St. Catherine of Siena
From Mr. Merrick
Dear St. Jerome Families,
A 3D printer arrived last week for our STEM Lab, and Mr. Dooley already has it up and running. We look forward to our teachers being able to use this new technology with Mr. Dooley's expertise.
Our 8th grade class carried out a long-standing St. Jerome School tradition by performing the Living Stations of the Cross. This year, they practiced and then recorded their parts so that all of us could prayerfully view and pray along from our classrooms as well as our virtual students at home. Thank you to Mr. Casee and Mrs. Zorawski for guiding our 8th graders. We also appreciate Mr. Dooley's assistance with making the recording and playback possible and Mrs. Carolan's photography skills.
Congratulations to our 8th graders: Angelina Dang, Saralee Emile, and Angel Ngwayah. Their artwork has been selected for entry into the 2021 National Christmas Artwork Competition sponsored by the Missionary Childhood Association. Best of luck Angelina, Saralee, and Angel. We are incredibly proud of your artistic talent! Thank you to Mrs. Hayes for coordinating their entry into this contest.
Please spread the word: we will host private family tours on Sunday, April 11th from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Reservations are required, so please let anyone that you know is interested in learning more about our school to contact the main office to schedule a convenient time.
We with you all a very blessed Holy Week and enjoyable Easter break; classes will resume on Wednesday, March 7th.
St. Jerome, pray for us!
