"Drop down dew ye heavens above
and let the clouds rain the just one."
Isaiah 45: 8
When Mother Jerome Schmitt was born on March 30, 1899, God had special plans for her life. She held many positions of leadership including first president of Mount Marty College from 1936-1957 as well as Prioress of Sacred Heart Monastery from 1932-1961. With her vision and courage, Mount Marty took shape in 1936. Her vision and lifelong dream also flourished when Bishop Marty Chapel was completed in 1950 in honor of Bishop Martin Marty. Mother Jerome stated, "With these two weapons (the Holy Rule and her Bible) and God's abiding grace, I hope to find my way to heaven" (autobiography). God so rewarded her valiant and strong faith on March 14, 1983 by calling her home.
