Welcome Fr. Jerome
The Rhinelander Cluster Parishes joyfully welcome Rev. Jerome D’Souza as our new Pastor. Father Jerome began his ministry with us on July 1, 2026.
Born on June 1, 1971, in Karnataka State, India, Father Jerome is the eldest of five children of Lawrence and Pauline D’Souza. He holds degrees in Philosophy and Theology, as well as a Master’s Degree in Pastoral Theology from St. Peter’s Pontifical Institute in Bangalore, India. He was ordained to the priesthood on December 20, 2000.
Before coming to the United States, Father Jerome served as pastor in four parishes and held several administrative roles in India. In April 2017, he was assigned to the Diocese of Superior, where he served as Parochial Administrator for the North Central Cluster Parishes of St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Winter and Sacred Heart Church in Radisson. In 2019, he moved to the Ashland Cluster, ministering to five parishes – Our Lady of the Lake Church, Ashland, St. Mary’s Church, Odanah, St. Florian’s Church, Ino, St. Peter’s Church, Dauby, Saints Peter & Paul Church, Moquah and a Catholic school until his recent transition here.
Father Jerome was incardinated into the Diocese of Superior in December 2020, the same year he became a permanent resident. He served on the Presbyteral Council for eight years, concluding in June 2026, and as Vicar Forane of the North Central Deanery. He currently serves on the Permanent Diaconate Vocations Board.
When you meet Fr. Jerome, please extend a warm welcome to him as he begins his ministry among our cluster and the greater Rhinelander area.
