RE:.................Death of Fr. Jerome Lively, A.A.
DATE:.......... 2 March 2222
It is with sadness that I inform the Assumption community of the death of Fr. Jerome Lively, A.A. who taught in the Department of Theology from 2002 to 2019. In 2019 he was named local superior and was the Director of Faith Formation at Saint Anne-St. Patrick Parish until the present time. Fr. Jerome graduated from Saint John’s Seminary College in Brighton in 1989 and from Weston Jesuit School of Theology in Cambridge in 1999. He also pursued advanced studies in Rome.
He made his religious profession on March 4, 1995, and was ordained to the priesthood on May 12, 2002, by Bishop Daniel P. Reilly.
Fr. Jerome’s funeral will be held at 10:00 AM on Friday, March 4, in the Saint Joachim Chapel at Saint Anne/Saint Patrick Parish, 16 Church Street. Visitation will be held from 5:00 to 7:00 PM Thursday, March 3, in the chapel followed by a vigil service at 7:00 PM.
We extend our prayers and heartfelt condolences to his Assumptionist brothers, as well as to his siblings and extended family. As a community of faith, we pray that Fr. Jerome now dwells in the loving presence of God.
