St. Jerome School Weekly Reminders
Week of April 4th, 2022

St. Benedict

*Please help us by participating in a 10-15 minute survey online and share the link with other people you know who are not coming to Mass and therefore haven’t heard. The survey can be accessed through an online link from March 2nd until April 4th.
