Hello, St. Clement parishioners and friends!
We’ll start with a few calendar notes:
- This coming Monday’s Bunco night for the ladies of the parish has been cancelled due to expected frigid temperatures.
- Training for current and aspiring altar servers is scheduled for next Saturday 25 Jan at 10am.
- Outreach Ministry will be conducting a blood pressure screening after the 8am and 12pm Masses next Sunday 26 Jan in the parish hall. Feel free to stop by and get yours checked!
Altar Server Training
Current and aspiring altar servers: mark your calendars for the training next Sat 25 Jan at 10am.
Becoming an altar server is a meaningful way for young people to grow in their faith, deepen their connection to the Church, and serve others. As an altar server, you are not only assisting the priest during Mass but also participating in a sacred and important role that helps lead the community in worship.
It’s a chance to learn about the liturgy, grow in responsibility, and feel the joy of contributing to the Church. By serving at the altar, young people can strengthen their prayer life, build a sense of community, and develop a personal relationship with Christ.
If you're looking for a way to become more involved, discover a deeper purpose, and be an example for others, consider becoming an altar server. Your service is an offering to God, and it's a beautiful opportunity to grow spiritually while supporting the Mass.
