JOSEPH B. GRAHAM

Many years after Father Graham´s passing and out of nowhere thoughts of him and his Thursday classes randomly popped into my head tonight. I wasn´t sure the exact date he passed so I searched his name and luckily stumbled upon this legacy page. It was wonderful to read all the comments about how he selflessly helped and served his parishioners. I was very fortunate to attend St. Jerome´s while he was the pastor. He always helped my family when we needed it. He was truly kind hearted and...

It was an honor to have known you Father. Rest in peace.

Our family left St Jerome's Parish in 1994. Our 4 years with Father Graham were quite memorable and it was very sad to hear of his passing. Father Graham was a great person and mentor to the people of St Jerome Parish
