Greetings and Blessings from Father Hugo Tagle
"The angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid! I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For to you has been born today in the town of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.” Luke 2:10
Dear friends!
What a beautiful holiday Christmas it is! Every Christmas Eve is a renewal of God's love and trust in humanity. In his birth, as one of us, God says "Yes" to us once again and welcomes us as children and makes us brothers and sisters! A real family!
May God made man, born among us, bring you peace, joy and strengthen you in love and hope.
I pray for each one of you. I remember you in the manger and I ask the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph for your intentions, families, jobs and studies.
A blessed Christmas and prosperous 2025!
Father Hugo Tagle

St. Jerome Catholic Church to Enthrone the Mother Thrice Admirable
After 8 am Mass on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, Fr. Kris blessed the image of the Mother Thrice Admirable, Queen & Victress of Schoenstatt and led a procession with the image to the St. Jerome Adoration Chapel where she was enthroned and will remain permanently present.
After the enthronement, a reception was held in Flanagan Hall. Special thanks to Father Kris, Deacon Ed, the altar servers, Lucian & Carleen Pawelek, the St. Jerome Knights of Columbus and those that helped with the reception.
We are grateful to all who participated or helped to make this a beautiful ceremony and celebration for our beloved Blessed Mother!
