Ieronim came from a family of clergymen. He was educated at the Smolensk Spiritual Seminary, he then (according to some sources) graduated from the Slavic Greek Latin Academy,[1] and began service as a hieromonk in the navy. In 1790–1792 he was a teacher in the Kiev Theological Academy.
From 1792 on he was the igumen of the Smolensk Holy Trinity Monastery; from 1794 on an archimandrite in the Pechersky Ascension Monastery in Nizhny Novgorod and the rector of the Nizhny Novgorod Spiritual Seminary; from January 17, 1799 on, he was an archimandrite in the New Jerusalem Monastery, where he eventually was buried. On the preserved cast-iron tombstone there are relief images and the inscription: "In this place was buried the body of the former igumen of this Stauropegial New Jerusalem Resurrection Monastery, Archimandrite Ieronim, who deceased in the Lord. This took place on 4 June 1802. He lived to be 52 years and 7 months old.[1]
