St. Jerome’s community honors Sister Geri McPhee for her 60th anniversary
A lot of change has come to Hyattsville, Maryland since 1970, but parishioners and friends of St. Jerome Parish and alumni of the St. Jerome Child Center and St. Jerome Academy honored one constant on Sept. 14: Notre Dame de Namur Sister Geraldine McPhee.
Sister Geri, as she is known, is celebrating 60 years in religious life this year. Washington Auxiliary Bishop Juan Esposito served as the main celebrant at the Saturday afternoon Mass honoring her anniversary, joined by concelebrants Father Scott Hahn, the pastor of St. Jerome Parish; Trinitarian Father James Day, the president of DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville; and Msgr. Joseph Ranieri, a former St. Jerome’s pastor. About 300 people attended the Mass.
