The Catholic Church of Saint Clement is an awesome community of faith with a rich history, culture, diversity, and spirit of evangelization. The church was established in 1949 and has served the Catholics of Calhoun and Gordon County since that time. Saint Clement provides a diverse environment to celebrate the sacraments of the Catholic Church and praise our God.
Programs, activities, and various ministries support the goal to strengthen a Catholic faith community that builds the kingdom of God. We encourage all members to actively participate in some of the many programs and activities outside of Sunday mass. Our commitment and participation in the parish builds our community in faith and the love of God.
“For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.” (LUKE 1:44)
When you hear the scripture readings and Gospel reading at Mass, do you “leap for joy?” If not, don’t blame the lecturer or priest, rather look inside yourself. What are you doing to grow in friendship with Jesus? How do you prepare for Mass each week? Do you just show up and expect to be entertained? As the Body of Christ, we are called to be active participants, not just passive observers.
Our Religion offers the answer to our deepest question about the meaning of life. It is a relationship with the creator, with creation and with ourselves. It allows us to be aware of ourselves, of our needs and the needs of others to then be transformed to our fullest self. As St. John wrote: He came that we might have life to the fullest. John 10:10

The Sacraments are powerful rituals that communicate God’s grace. They bring the presence of God to the most important moments in a person’s life: birth, maturity, the start of a family, the need for a fresh start, the commitment to serve, an illness and to be sustained in life. They also represent a robust symbol of this family that Christ founded because they are always performed in community
