St. Jerome's Child Care Center, Hyattsville

We give testimony to our Christian lives by the practice of the spiritual and corporal works of mercy. Empowered by the gifts of the Holy Spirit, we invite all to join us in reaping the fruits of the Spirit and in fulfilling our call as a parish community of witnessing Christ's love to the world. We recognize that we are a diverse people, with differing social, economic and ethnic backgrounds. Spiritually, we differ in our varied graces, gifts and charisms. We welcome this, believing that such differences, lovingly accepted by one another, help us to build up the Body of Christ, the Church. In our differences, we join in affirming that there is "one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism" and that we are all united by the bond of the indwelling love of the Holy Spirit. As a parish community and as individuals we pledge ourselves to continue to strive to be true to the commandment Jesus gave us, that we should love one another as He loved us. St. Jerome Child Center offers a hot lunch program for parents who would like to participate. Each Friday brings a different menu: Week one: Chicken Nuggets with French Fries & green beans Week two - Baked Ziti with meat balls Week three -Hot dogs, French Fries, green beans Week four- Pizza Our lunches are catered by Three Brothers Restaurant. Again, this is a voluntary choice. Most parents enjoy not having to make lunch for Friday and the children really enjoy the meals.
