About Us
Parish History
The Parish of St Jerome situated at Nostrand and NewKirk Avenues, Kings County, Brooklyn, New York was established May 1st 1901. The first mass was celebrated, following the appointment of a young priest Reverend Thomas F. Lynch by Bishop Charles Edward McDonnel. The first building used for divine services was the parlor of the clubhouse of the Cortelyou club located at Bedford Avenue and Avenue D. This building has since been demolished. Presently, the congregation continues to grow rapidly due to heavy migration from all Caribbean countries, Central and South America, and Africa.
Our Mission
We, the members and the Pastor of St. Jerome Parish, affirming our incorporation in the Body of Christ through the grace of the Holy Spirit, do join together to form the Parish Pastoral Council for the purpose of assisting and applying the work of the Catholic Church in our community.
