The Society of St. Jerome is a fully independent, inclusive, and egalitarian faith community rooted firmly in the Inclusive Catholic tradition. All members of the Society are baptized and confirmed Catholics who are active and intentional in practicing their faith. The Society of St. Jerome unapologetically and enthusiastically welcomes single, married, and partnered, women, men, non-binary, gender nonconforming, and trans persons to share fully in their life and ministry.

The sacraments are the source and summit of Catholic life and the beating heart of the Society of St. Jerome. The grace that flows through these sacraments animates the Body of Christ and enables the members of the Society to share in the ministry of the Church Catholic as it flows from the person, work, and teachings of Jesus. The sacraments are also a means by which we are filled with the life-giving power of the Holy Spirit who draws us into ever greater union with the divine life of the Holy Trinity in whom we live, move, and have our being.

So that all of the Church’s sacraments may be shared with all of God’s diverse people, the Society of St. Jerome raises its members up for ordination to the minor and major orders through the laying on of hands by our Bishop Protector. Our Bishop Protector has verifiable lines of Apostolic Succession and remains faithful to the Apostolic Tradition as articulated by the seven Ecumenical Council’s of Christ’s One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
