Happy Blessed Mother’s Day
There is but one and only one whose love will fail you never. One who lives from sun to sun with constant fond endeavor. There is but one and only one on earth there is no other. In heaven a noble work was done when God gave us a Mother.
During the month of May, the statue of Mary will be placed in the sanctuary. There will be flower vases. I am inviting you when coming to church, come early, and place whatever flower stems you bring from home in the vases. On Mother’s Day weekend, at the Saturday Vigil Mass, we will have a solemn presentation of flowers to Mary.
We Need Volunteers!
We are looking for more volunteers for the Sunday and Vigil masses for the foreseeable future, since this situation is not going away any time soon. We need:
Ushers: to receive and accommodate our fellow parishioners. There should be ideally three ushers at each mass.
Given the fact that they will be directly interacting with the congregation, they should be 60 y.o. or younger and without any critical health condition. All of our masses are currently understaffed for ushers and we are happy to have your help for any mass time you are able to come!
Cleaners: anyone can help, as recommended by the authorities, with the after-mass cleaning of all the surfaces that come in contact with the people attending mass: pews, door handles, and all other surfaces and areas that are reasonably prone to be touched.
As per the recent mandate from the Archdiocese, Lectors, musicians and volunteers will have to have their temperature taken before every Mass they serve.
Volunteer Coordinator: Allison Fillo

(860) 227-6429
Please contact Allison ASAP if you are willing to volunteer. Be sure to tell her which role you want to volunteer for and which mass or masses you are available to help.

Collection and Offertory
Though this global crisis has created physical, spiritual and economic strain beyond compare, we ask those of you who are able to remember St. Clement through your weekly envelopes and OSV Online Giving. Collection baskets will not be passed around during Mass but will be stationed at the front of the church. We are encouraging everyone who can to utilize Online Giving in order to reduce cross-contacted objects, like the envelopes and cash.
We are inexpressibly thankful to you, our parishioners, for your generous commitment and dedication to the parish. We are proud of the courage, compassion and perseverance you have shown as brothers and sisters in Christ. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you and God Bless you!
