Meet Fr. Jerome Ocampo

Fr. Jerome Ocampo, a native of the Philippines, was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Metuchen on Saturday, May 31, 2025. Fr. Ocampo received his B.A. in Philosophy from St. Camillus College Seminary, Philippines, and his M. Div. and M.A. in Christian Ethics from Immaculate Conception Seminary at Seton Hall University, South Orange, NJ. He has served resident internships in several parishes in the diocese, the most recent being at the Church of St. Magdalen dePazzi in Flemington where he served as a deacon. Fr. Ocampo has worked with both English and Spanish language communities and finds joy in all aspects of ministry, but especially in caring for the sick and those in health care institutions. We welcome Fr. Ocampo to our parish and pledge him our prayerful support as he begins his priestly ministry with us.
