The Adorers of the Blood of Christ taught the children of St. Jerome's Croatian school for almost 80 years. Alongside the priests, they helped launch the school in 1922. Their service ended in 2001.

Each year, a special parishioner and their family or a dignitary are chosen to lead the Procession of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin May (Velika Gospa). Pictured here in 2000 is the family of Mijo Barun.

Various clubs and societies from St. Jerome and neighboring Croatian communities enhance the annual Velika Procession with their participation. Many create special floats, like Club Sinj pictured here, where club members and their children wave to the crowds along the streets of Bridgeport.
