Fall Into Faith
09-27-2026 | Fr. Abraham Orapankal, PastorDear OLP Family,
This week we will say goodbye to September with the feast of St. Jerome on the 30th. Jerome was above all a Scripture scholar, translating most of the Old Testament from the Hebrew. He also wrote commentaries which are a great source of scriptural inspiration for us today. He was an avid student, a thorough scholar, a prodigious letter-writer and a consultant to monk, bishop, and pope. St. Jerome is best known for translating the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate).
