From the Weymouth Food Pantry
A letter (in part) from the Weymouth Food Pantry for the food pantry project completed by our Confirmation Students:

Please extend our gratitude to all at Saint Jerome Parish who participated in the renovation of the storage/office spaces and hallways at the pantry. It is no surprise to us that St. Jerome's went all out with this project. We have been benefitting from the generosity and support of this wonderful parish for years. New volunteers, food collections, the scouts, the school - all have contributed to make the Pantry the incredible resource it is for those in need in the community.

We have needed more office space at the Pantry for years and recently thought how can we ever accomplish this? Not long after that thought, a phone call came from St. Jerome's asking if there was a project large enough for 50 kids. 50 kids! Well, we thought we would take advantage of this opportunity and revamp the whole Pantry to a much more organized and smooth flowing work space.

That is what you did! (Without us having to close the Pantry at all!) The finished work is amazing!!! This Pantry has never looked so good! You have graced our space and when we wok in the new office and take in the beautiful newly painted walls, we think of you all. We are blessed! Thank you. Pat Adams, Director

It is not too late to register for Religious Formation: email Maryellen.cassani@gmail.com or call 781-335-2038

ARISE

ARISE sign-up We now have about 225 participants in our ARISE process of home-based faith-sharing! I know that God has blessed this parish with a vibrant faith enjoying profound expression within these small communities of faith.

ARISE is a wonderful opportunity to make new friends and share your faith with like-minded Catholics. It is also an opportunity to rekindle your faith if you have been away from the church.
