Where We’re At - August 18, 2024 - by Fr. Terry Kerner, Administrator/Moderator
August was busy for the parish. Homecoming Weekend and Mob Mass presented excellent opportunities to display our parish hospitality and appreciation of our Church and its history. We can all offer our gratitude to all our volunteers who generously offered their time and talents to make successes!
Another great feat is our reaching and exceeding our Catholic Services Appeal target. I am told this is the first year that we have accomplished this so early in the annual drive. Currently, we are over $3,000 of our target—an amount that remains in the parish and is not taxed by the Archdiocese. Contributions to the CSA continue to be made through the offertory, by mail or directly to the parish office. We will keep you informed as to how we are doing.
Post Labor Day projects coming up include the cleaning, filling cracks, sealing and restriping of the Fr. Yagley Hall parking lot. The effort is more than just cosmetic but is necessary for maintenance of the lot. The rule of thumb calls for every three to four years to have this done and will become our policy for both lots in the years ahead.
Also, the days ahead will see us hydroseeding and moderate landscaping being done on the grounds surrounding the new parking lot. Also planned will be the installation of fencing and gates. Planning for a remembrance garden on the site of the high school will begin in the months ahead. We will look for volunteers and contributions to this effort. You will be hearing more about this in the months ahead.
Much has been done and much remains to be done in the months and years ahead to preserve and celebrate the beautiful gift of St. Alphonsus-St. Clement Parish. You are invited to share the gift with family, friends and former parishioners!

Saint of the Day
St. Cornelius: Saint of the Day for Monday, September 16, 2024
09/16/24 6:00 am
Cornelius whose feast day is September 16th. A Roman priest, Cornelius was elected Pope to succeed Fabian in an election delayed fourteen months by Decius' persecution of the Christians. The main issue of his pontificate was the treatment to be accorded Christians who had been apostasized during the persecution.
