St. Clement Parish

2023 has brought changes for our parish community, some changes we like, others maybe not, but through it all we have continued to worship each week as a faith community. Several of the different priests who have joined us to lead our celebrations mention enjoying coming to St. Clement because we sing and participate fully.     

As a Parish, we use music to enhance our Mass and liturgies.  The music we play and the songs we sing expresses our glory, praise and honor to God.  It helps us to express our joy in the Lord.  A major instrument we use as accompaniment is the church organ.    Last year we designated the Giving Tuesday campaign funds to raise the money to repair and upgrade our organ so we and many future generations can continue to enjoy the music of the Mass. We raised $12,000 toward the total project cost of $25,000.  Your donation on Giving Tuesday is more important than ever. 

We are shown in the Bible that music was used in the early days:

“Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and spoke, saying: 

‘I will sing to the Lord, For He has triumphed gloriously!”

Exodus 15:1a

We were able to complete several past projects including the lighting and landscape projects from prior years.  The funds from last year have been set aside and are available for the organ repair and upgrade project
