St. Jerome Roman Catholic Church

About this church

St. Jerome Roman Catholic Church serves East Flatbush with Sunday Masses in Creole, English, Spanish, and Creole/French. The homepage identifies a new schedule of 7:30 and 9:45 a.m., 11:30 a.m., and 1:15 p.m.; the separate Mass page still shows 11:15 a.m. and 1 p.m. for the final two liturgies, so visitors should confirm those times. Weekday English Mass is listed at 7:30 a.m. Monday through Friday, with Creole Mass at 9 a.m. Monday through Saturday. Confession is Saturday from 4 to 4:45 p.m. in the Lower Church or by appointment, and Friday Eucharistic Adoration follows the 9 a.m. Mass until noon Benediction.

Established in 1901, St. Jerome began with Mass in the Cortelyou Club and now describes a growing parish shaped by families from the Caribbean, Central and South America, and Africa. Parish life reflects that multilingual community through charismatic and Legion of Mary groups, Haitian and English choirs, Spanish Cursillo, youth groups, altar servers, and OCIA in English, Spanish, and Creole. Online religious-education registration supports children's faith formation and sacramental preparation. Baptisms are scheduled by language on selected Saturdays, while couples are asked to begin marriage arrangements at least six months ahead. Questions about arrival, step-free routes, assistive listening, child care, expected liturgy length, and which services stream remain best directed to the parish office.
