St. Jerome Catholic Church

Overview

St. Jerome Catholic Church is a parish community serving Kensington, and portions of El Cerrito, Berkeley and Albany. The parish boasts an active Saint Vincent de Paul conference, a variety of social activities throughout the year, and a music ministry at all three weekend Masses. Our parish offices are located on the ground level floor of the Rectory. St. Jerome was founded in 1941, grew in size throughout the post War boom and has an established, stable congregation. New arrivals in town are encouraged to join our worship, social and service activities. If you are interested in learning more about Catholic Christianity, or want to join the Catholic Faith tradition, we invite you to join the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, a year-round process of education and discernment. The RCIA is a great way to reintegrate as a “returning Catholic”.

Mission: More than a Church Serving El Cerrito and Neighboring Community St. Jerome is open to worshippers of all ages and backgrounds. We lead our congregation in worship, deepening the connection to God, understanding the teachings of Christ, and ultimately to a vibrant faith. We have a long, proud history of serving the people of San Francisco. Through the dedication of our leadership, staff members and volunteers, we are committed to the teachings of Jesus Christ, and are here to spread His message.
