HomeSt. Jerome is a Catholic parish located in Punchbowl, New South Wales, established in 1935 when it was separated from the Bankstown parish. The first parish priest, Rev. Fr. Walter Clarke, served for 31 years and was instrumental in establishing both the parish and school community. The current church building, opened in May 1963 and renovated in the late 1990s, was formally consecrated by Cardinal George Pell during the parish's 75th anniversary celebrations in 2010. The parish has also benefited from the dedicated service of the Sisters of St Joseph, who contributed to the parish's growth and education initiatives from 1933 until their departure in 2005.
