OUR SEMINARIAN, PETER HOAN,
IS ALSO BEING REASSIGNED
OUR SEMINARIAN, PETER HOAN,
IS ALSO BEING REASSIGNED
Our seminarian, Peter Hoan, is assigned to St. Ambrose Parish in Cambridge effective by the end of May. We thank Peter for his dedicated service during the many months of the pandemic. He has cheerfully and faithfully assisted at St. Clement since March 2020, helping in every way asked of him: Assisting with church upkeep, helping with household tasks, grocery shopping and preparing meals, always with a smile. And most significantly, he made the broadcast of our online Masses possible: First, together with John Ha, by serving on the altar, reading, filming, and editing; then, gaining experience, he did this on his own … All while keeping up with his online studies! And just two years ago, he was learning the English language! Remarkable!
We are grateful for Peter’s presence and the talents he shared, and we wish him well. Please pray for Peter Hoan, John Ha, and the other seminarians of our Diocese. May God bless their efforts, guide them in their formation, and help them to do well in their studies and parish assignments.

Pre-Authorized Giving
At the request of parishioners, the option of Pre-Authorized Giving was made available on December 1st, 2019. This option has been a great blessing, especially throughout the pandemic, and is available to anyone who wishes to support the parish. The Authorization Form is available by request; please phone or email the parish office. It is also available by downloading the file below:
| ||||
Completed forms can be submitted electronically (scanned and emailed), or mailed, or placed in the collection basket. Changes in offerings are also made using the Authorization Form.
Offerings may be made on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly basis. Monthly offerings are processed on the 20th day of the month or very shortly thereafter. Weekly and biweekly Sunday offerings are normally processed on the following Tuesday.
Several times this year, likely due to pandemic issues, weekly donations were locked on the bank's website and processed late (that is, together with the following week's donation). We apologize for any confusion caused.
Again, your continued support of the parish has been a tremendous blessing. Our thanks to those enrolled in Pre-Authorized Giving and to all who have remembered St. Clement Parish. We deeply appreciate your generosity. God bless you!
