On Saturday and Sunday, March 6^th and March 7^th, after each Mass, St. Jerome Parish hosted a Ministry Fair in our newly renovated Parish Hall. The Ministry Fair presented a wonderful way for parishioners to meet and gather information about our ministries, to ask questions and discern their many gifts and talents, and learn how they can share their many gifts within a particular ministry.

More than 31 parish ministries participated, and more than 300 visitors attended.

Thank you to all the ministries and their members who created elaborate displays, attended to the display tables throughout all weekend masses, and provided information about our parish's efforts to bring the Good News to our community and neighbors.

Special gratitude to parishioners Jacqueline James, Nakyshia Lazarre, and Lola McAlpin-Grant who created and donated the beautiful gift baskets raffled after each Mass.

Sincere thanks to our Hospitality team, led by Joyce Holt, parishioners who are so generous with their time and culinary skills and who provided food and refreshment to all who visited and participated in the fair.

We are grateful, always, for God's grace and blessings upon our parish.

Now, we hope all our ministries will be emboldened and renewed in continuing to carry out their mission of service in Christ's name!

In the peace of Christ,

The Ministry Fair Committee
