Welcome

    Welcome to St. Clement’s Parish. We are a close knit, vibrant community of Catholics seeking God in their everyday journeys. Spreading the Word, by prayer and example, is the challenge to all Christians. “Christianity has at its central core communication of God to us, and, we to each other. As Catholic Christians we effect this communication; this relationship, to the listening to God’s ever living word in the Scripture, Celebrating His presence in the Sacraments, and living that presence in our family relationship as brothers and sisters in Christ.” - Fr. John Mills


Parish History

    St. Clement’s is named after St. Clement, a disciple of St. Peter and the fourth pope of the Church. This name is especially appropriate because St. Clement’s was originally a mission of St. Peter’s Parish. It’s first pastor was Reverend William Donnelly, a thirty-eight-year old priest who supervised its construction. Early in 1958, the house adjacent to the north side of the Church was purchased for use as a rectory.

    The years of self-sacrifice, overwork and worry began to affect the health of Father Donnelly. Apart from his priestly duties, he could be seen working about the landscaping of the church grounds, even using a sledge hammer to break the large rocks that dotted the field. Father Donnelly passed away on July 6, 1964 at the age of forty-seven years.

    Reverend Gerald Mabey was appointed Parish Priest on August 21, 1964 and following him, Reverend Robert Walsh on July 4, 1973. In 1968 a new rectory was built and in the early eighties, an addition was made to the church itself. The original design had allowed for the future modification. Following the retirement of Father Walsh in 1990, there have been several pastors including Reverend Gary MacPherson, Reverend Edward Grand, Reverend Robert Floyd, Reverend Joseph Hattie, and presently, Reverend John Mills.
