Dear Friends of St. Jerome School,
I believe that the realm of the spirit is more powerful than reality,
that story is more potent than history,
that dreams are more profound than ideas,
that hope always triumphs over despair.
I believe that laughter is the best cure for grief,
that heartfelt support is more lasting than self-advantageous interest,
that money more often buys enemies than friends.
I believe that friendship is a secure way to understanding,
that love is stronger than death,
that speaking positively is more powerful than complaining,
that selfishness is the cause of all evil.
I believe that giving of oneself gives birth to inner happiness.
I believe in the power, talents, and future of our students.
I believe in YOU because of your tireless hearts for giving.
I believe these things because love and belief are inspirational forces in your lives
and the lives of your children.
I hope you enjoy this beautiful gift of communication: our school web page. I hope that it will keep us well informed, that it will foster the communication between school staff and you, and it will make our school community even more family oriented. May the Lord bless you and keep you, be close to you and fill you with his wisdom and peace!
Yours always,
Fr. Joe Grbes, OFM
Pastor
