SAINT JEROME PARISH CONSTANZA MISSION
The intent of our parish's mission is to extend
God's love for the poor and suffering beyond the boundaries of our great
and bountiful
country. By our words, actions, and financial support,
we prayerfully commit
ourselves to the people of Constanza in the Dominican Republic.
Our purpose is to humbly support our brothers and sisters
in all that we do, and to
advance our own spirituality as a result of our sacrifice.
If we consider the poor in the light of faith, then we
will observe that they are taking
the place of the Son of God, who chose to be poor.
Our primary goal is to assist and support the three nuns,
who, ten years ago, established a mission in Tireo, a
village near Constanza. They work tirelessly seven days a week helping
the poor with very few means
financially, but with a great deal of faith and love
for their people.
