The feast of St. Jerome is on September 30.
Saint Jerome is a saint who was born in 331. His is the patron saint of librarians. He was a priest and historian who spent much time learning.
St. Jerome is a "pre-congregational" saint. He was declared a saint by popular acclaim and devotion before a formal canonization process existed. That process only came into existence about 900 years ago, long after Jerome had already been declared a saint.
St. Jerome Emiliani Institute's motto is 'Pray, Study and Joy'.
It is believed that St. Jerome made a similar statement, "ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ." St. Jerome was a prominent early Christian theologian known for his translations of the Bible into Latin.
In his painting of St. Jerome and the Angel, Simon Vouet a master portraitist, captured the Saint in a rather disconcerted state. St. Jerome's facial expression seems to suggest that he may be slightly frustrated by the immense task of translating the Hebrew and Greek transcripts that would form the Bible. The Angel appears to be calming St. Jerome and the skull on the table is an indicator of St. Jerome's position as a (Latin) Doctor of the Church.
St. Jerome was born in the year 347 and died in 419 so was about 72 years old when he died.
