Other announcements are as follows:
- Many of you may have seen our Giving Tuesday announcements coming out on social media regarding the projects and we would like to ask our Family of Families to prayerfully consider donating to on Giving Tuesday, December 1, 2020. If you have not seen our social media posts you can find more information through our website, by watch for upcoming emails and/ or checking out our social media posts regarding the project. Direct link to the website is: https://stjeromesatx.org/st-jerome-sports-complex
Posts have also been placed below as we are opening 4 gifts until giving Tuesday, and are unveiling the next steps of our beautiful sports complex.
We would also like to take a moment to thank our St. Jerome Men's Club for donating some new pavilion areas that will be turned into areas for the community to picnic under at the sports complex. As you come to mass this weekend you will be able to drive by and see the progress of these amazing pavilions This generosity is truly helping make the complex feel like a community center! The additional projects on Giving Tuesday, will also continue with this same spirit and will be something each of us can truly enjoy for many years to come.
- "Sip and Savior," our women’s online bible study group, will be collecting new blankets and unopened toiletries for the Salvation Army from now until December 8th. A collection box is located in Flanagan. Additional information: contact Gayle Haese at 210-262-1091, Lauri Peters at 210-289-5605 or Melissa Galbraith at 210-606-0293.
- St. Jerome will be hosting the annual Angel Tree! We should be receiving our "Angels" this coming week. As soon as the angels are received we will get them set up in the foyer and notify you. We are also working on an electronic sign up option for those who might not be coming to Mass yet but would like to still be able to participate.
- As a reminder there are no Faith Formation classes this Sunday, enjoy the Holiday break but it is our hope we will still see you at Mass!
- This weekend we celebrate the Feast of Christ the King! This is an exciting weekend for our parish and will be a beautiful Sunday to attend. It is our hope that you will consider joining us for this important day in the life of our church.
