There are two accepted forms for possessive singular nouns ending in s:
Add an apostrophe (') after the existing s at the end of the word: Father Jess'
Add an apostrophe s ('s) after the existing s at the end of the word: Father Jess's
Examples:
We're planning a party for Father Jess' birthday.
We're planning a party for Father Jess's birthday.
