Chè pawasyen,

Mwen fè konfyans nòt sa a ap jwenn nou anfòm ak nan bon lespri. Rezon ki fè nòt sa a soti se pou m pataje avèk nou plizyè fason pandemi Covid-19 afekte yon fason negatif, rezo sèvis nou genyen, dyosèz la te konn kapab peye gras a jenerozite repons nou bay dyosèz la nan Kanpapy Apèl Katolik Anyèl, pa lentemyè pawas Sen Jewòm. Mwen trè rekonesan lè m wè jan nou onore angajman nou, poutèt nou toujou kenbe pawòl nou ak sipò nou kontinye bay pawas Sen Jewòm ak Dyosèz Katolik Women nan Brooklyn, espesyalman pandan tan sa a ki san parèy. M ap pwofite okazyon sa a, pou m dekri kèk nan sèvis kle rezo dyosèz la founi. Si tout sa rive fèt, se grasa donasyon dyosèz la resevwa nan men pawasyen bon kè tankou noumenm. Lè nou fin repase lis ki anba a, nou pral wè aklè ki jan lajan yo te aplike. An plis toujou, rezo sèvis Kanpay Apèl Katolik Anyèl la dwe fleksib nan tan sa a ki vrèman san parèy.

1. Koulye a nou bay plis pase 100,000 sèvis manje chak jou nan dyosèz nou an, pou reponn demann la ki ogmante 300%.

2. Plis pase 120 pawas ofri chak jou Lamès andirèk sou sit wèbsayt. Epi plis 144 pawas kominike chak jou avèk pawasyen ki sèvi avèk medya sosyal yo.

3. Edikatè nou yo te oblije aplike rapidman zouti aprantisaj adistans. Yo rete angaje nan fòme kè ak lespri jèn Katolik nou yo.

4. Nou gen 30 omonye ki deplwaye nan lopital nan moman sa a, nan tout minisipalite nou yo, pou konsole malad yo ak moun ki pi frajil yo.

5. Genyen tou klèje nou an, ki konsakre nan sèvis legliz la, moun ki rete nan premye liy batay kont pamdemi kowonaviris la. Yo kontinye anrichi lavi nou espirityèlman e yo te asosye avèk rezo nou an, nan sèvis sipò yo bay pou reponn bezwen lokal yo, nan tout dyosèz nou an.

Kòm nou o konnen, Sant pou Kontwòl ak Prevansyon Maladi (CDC) predi, pandemi sa a pa pral disparèt nenpòt ki lè byento. Poutèt sa, nou gen tan konprann, nou pral bezwen kenbe repons sa a djanm, pou nou satisfè demann pou sipò pou frè ak sè nou yo nan Kris la. Demann sa ap grandi chak jou. Kòm rezilta, sipò nou vin pi enpòtan, nan sitiyasyon kriz n ap pase la a. Misyon nou rete menm jan an.

Pawasyen angaje, zanmi, Katolik, nou bezwen sipò ou, pou kenbe misyon nou an. Mwen rekonesan anvè 98 moun ki te pran yon angajman pou yo kontribiye nan Apèl Katolik Anyèl 2020. Sipò enkondisyonèl sa a pèmèt nou rive jwenn $ 25,593.00 sou $ 44.916.00 ki se objektif 2020 pawas la. Nou rete sèlman $ 19,323.00 pou nou atenn objektif nou yo. Se konsa, jodi a, mwen bese byen ba pou m vin chèche èd ou, pou nou ede pawas la kouvri diferans la, ki se $ 19,323.00. Chay sa a ap vin tonbe sou do Sen Jewòm, kòm reskonsablite finansye si objektif nou yo pa satisfè. Mwen remèsye w alavans pou konpreyansyon ou ak koperasyon rapid ou, nan evite fado finansye an plis sa a tonbe sou do pawas la, etan nou kenbe nan sèvi sè nou yo ak frè yo nan Kris la, avèk lanmou ak diyite nan Apèl Katolik Anyèl la.

Se pou nou kontinye lapriyè Jezikri ak Manman Mari. Pou yo fè nou jwenn yon fen ak pandemi sa a.

Sensèman nan Kris la,

Desde el escritorio del pastor

24 de junio de 2020

Estimados feligreses,

Confío en que esta nota Le encontrará bien y con buen espíritu. El propósito de esta nota es compartir con ustedes las muchas maneras en que esta pandemia de Covid-19 ha afectado negativamente la red de servicios que la diócesis ha pudo pagar debido a su generosidad a la Campaña Católica Anual de la Diócesis, a través de la Parroquia de San Jerónimo. Estoy muy agradecido por honrar su promesa, por su fidelidad y su continuo apoyo a la parroquia de San Jerónimo y la Diócesis Católica Romana de Brooklyn, especialmente durante este tiempo sin precedentes. Aprovecho esta oportunidad para describir a continuación algunos de los servicios críticos de la red proporcionados por la Diócesis que se financian con donaciones recibidas de feligreses generosos como usted. Al revisar la lista a continuación, verá cómo se aplicaron los fondos, ya que la red de servicios de Nuestra Campaña Católica Anual debe ser flexible en este momento sin precedentes.

1. Ahora servimos más de 100,000 comidas diarias en nuestra Diócesis en respuesta al aumento del 300% en la demanda.

2. Más de 120 parroquias ofrecen cobertura diaria en vivo de Misa y 144 parroquias se comunican diariamente con feligreses que usan las redes sociales.

3. Nuestros educadores debían implementar rápidamente herramientas innovadoras de aprendizaje a distancia. Permanecen comprometidos a formar los corazones y las mentes de nuestra juventud católica.

4. Tenemos 30 capellanes hospitalarios actualmente desplegados en nuestros distritos consolando a los enfermos y más vulnerables.

5. Y, por supuesto, nuestro devoto clero, que permanece en la primera línea de esta pandemia. Continúan enriqueciendo nuestras vidas espiritualmente y se han asociado con nuestra red de servicios de apoyo para abordar las necesidades locales en nuestra Diócesis.

Como sabe, el Centro para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC) predice que esta pandemia no desaparecerá pronto. En consecuencia, anticipamos que necesitaremos mantener esta respuesta para satisfacer la creciente demanda de apoyo para nuestros hermanos y hermanas en Cristo. Como resultado, su asociación es crítica mientras navegamos por esta situación. Nuestra misión sigue siendo la misma.

Como feligreses comprometidos, amigos y católicos, necesitamos su apoyo para mantener nuestra misión. Agradezco a las 98 personas que se han comprometido generosamente con la Campaña Católica Anual 2020. Este apoyo inquebrantable nos ha permitido alcanzar $ 25,593.00 de nuestra meta de Parroquia 2020 de $ 44,916.00. Estamos a solo $ 19,323.00 de distancia de nuestra meta. Así que hoy, humildemente busco su ayuda para ayudar a la parroquia a cubrir esta diferencia de $ 19,323.00 que se convertirá en la responsabilidad financiera de la parroquia de San Jerónimo si no se cumple nuestro objetivo. Les agradezco de antemano su comprensión y su pronta cooperación para evitar una carga financiera adicional para la parroquia mientras sirve a nuestras hermanas y hermanos en Cristo con amor y dignidad a través de la Campaña Católica Anual.

Sigamos orando a nuestro Señor Jesucristo y a nuestra Santísima Madre María para que ponga fin a esta pandemia.

Sinceramente en Cristo,

Pastor’s Message (English) https://stjeromercchurch.org/2020/06/27/pastors-message/ https://stjeromercchurch.org/2020/06/27/pastors-message/#respond Sat, 27 Jun 2020 06:56:41 +0000 https://stjeromercchurch.org/?p=1977 From the Pastor’s Desk

 

Dear Parishioners,

I trust this note will find you well and in good spirit. The purpose of this note is to share with you the many ways this pandemic of Covid-19 has negatively effected the network of services that the diocese was able to afford due to your generosity to the Diocese Annual Catholic Appeal through the Parish of St. Jerome.   I am very grateful to you for honoring your pledge, for your faithfulness and continued support to the parish of St. Jerome and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn especially during this unprecedented time.   I take this opportunity to outline below some of the critical network services provided by the Diocese which are funded from donations received from generous parishioners like you. Upon reviewing the list below, you will see how the funds were applied since Our Annual Catholic Appeal’s network of services must be flexible in this unprecedented time.

  •      We now serve over 100,000 meals daily across our Diocese in response to the 300% increase in demand.
  •      Over 120 parishes offer daily livestream coverage of Mass and 144 parishes communicate daily with parishioners using social media.
  •      Our educators were required to quickly implement innovative distance learning tools. They remain committed to forming the hearts and minds of our Catholic youth.
  •      We have 30 hospital chaplains currently deployed across our boroughs consoling the sick and most vulnerable.
  •      And of course, our devoted clergy, who remain at the front line of this pandemic. They continue to enrich our lives spiritually and have partnered with our network of support services to address the local needs across our Diocese.

 

As you are aware, The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) predicts that this pandemic will not go away anytime soon.  Consequently, we anticipate we will need to maintain this response to meet the growing demand for support for our brothers and sisters in Christ. As a result, your partnership is critical as we navigate this situation. Our mission remains the same.

 

As a committed parishioner, friend, and Catholic, we need your support to uphold our mission. I am grateful to the 98 people who have made a generous commitment to the 2020 Annual Catholic Appeal. This unwavering support has allowed us to reach $25,593.00 of our $44,916.00 Parish 2020 Goal.  We are only $19,323.00 away from our goal.  So today, I humbly seek your help in assisting the parish to cover this difference of  $19,323.00 which will become the parish of St. Jerome financial responsibility if our goal is not met. I thank you in advance for your understanding and prompt cooperation in avoiding additional financial burden to the parish while serving our sisters and brothers in Christ with love and dignity through The Annual Catholic Appeal.

 

Let us continue to pray to our Lord Jesus Christ and our Blessed Mother Mary for an end to this pandemic.

 

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Father Jean Yvon Pierre

Pastor

Please help us by waiting patiently and quietly until you are called to come inside by a volunteer. All parishioners inside the Church must adhere to social distancing rules. All individuals must be at least 6 feet apart. Our goal is to keep you safe and healthy. So please help us.

Face mask must be worn at all time while inside the Church. Hand sanitizer will be available, but we highly recommend that you bring your own.

We know that you missed coming to worship in your St. Jerome, but please be mindful of your fellow parishioners waiting outside to come in. Please note that at this time we will have to limit the amount of time that you can spend inside the Church. We are trying to provide as many people as possible the opportunity to come in inside the Church and pray.

Thank you for your understanding and consideration. We appreciate your support in making this work. We are all in this together. We will figure it out. Click on the link below for message in English, Creole and Spanish –
