==> COVID Faith Formation Guidelines through November 1
Faith Formation Program starts next Sunday. The program now has more than 180 registered children with 50 catechists. It is wonderful to see the school building with tiny bodies running all over the place. It is fantastic to have the walls bounced off with the giggles, the laughters and the shoutings. It is truly a blessing to see the children bringing life back to the Church of St. Clement.
We will meet at the school Gym on the first level (from the front door of the school, walk up the stairs on your right). We assign the students to the grade level based on their age.
On the opening day, the children will meet and greet their catechists and the Vietnamese Language teachers. Consequently, they will participate in the Eucharistic Youth activities. In the interim, the School Board will meet with the parents.
Please refer to the Class Assignment Criteria for the new school year 2021-2022. CLICK HERE
Congratulations
to our 1st Reconciliation and Eucharist class of 2021
Congratulations to the thirteen children who are celebrating for the first time the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist. On this very special day, I hope you can feel the light of the Lord shining down upon you. May the love of Jesus shine in your heart now and forever!
On the children's behalf, Father Phong thank seminarians Hà, Hiển, Tuân and Nguyễn, sister Ly Cao and the director of Faith Formation, Elizabeth Sách, for your selfless dedication in preparing them for the reception of these sacred sacraments.

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!
