The new St. Jerome Library is bringing faith-filled reading to our parish community. Discover a traveling selection of Catholic, family-friendly books from our new Faith Formation Campus library.

Visit the St. Jerome Library display on Sunday, September 6, in the Parish Hall and explore books selected to help children, teens, adults and families learn more about the Catholic faith and grow closer to our Lord.

Who Was St. Jerome?
St. Jerome was a fourth-century priest, Scripture scholar and Doctor of the Church. He devoted many years to studying and translating the Bible, producing the Latin translation known as the Vulgate, which served the Church for centuries. He is the patron saint of librarians, translators and scholars. His dedication to Sacred Scripture, learning and the written word makes him a fitting patron for our parish library. St. Jerome’s feast day is September 30.

Faith on the Move
The St. Jerome Library will offer books for parishioners of all ages, with selections available through traveling displays at parish gatherings and events. Watch for more information as this new parish resource continues to grow.
