Our mission statement is “to know God; to love God; to make God known.” St. Clement’s is in the heart of a working-class neighborhood and many of our parishioners live within a few miles of our church.
We share Bishop Curry’s vision of inclusion and equality for all people. We are from many different cultural backgrounds and educational levels, and our lay vocations cover a broad spectrum. More information about us can be found at http://www.saint-clements.com.
