The Saint Clement Young Adult Community
Here's a way for young adults – people in their 20s and 30s, married and single – to experience their faith in more ways than just at Sunday Mass. We have a very active Young Adult Community (YAC) here at Saint Clement, led by a team of 10 young adult parishioners. Share your enthusiasm, talents and time. Strengthen and revitalize your faith. Meet and serve our neighbor and one another. Come to a YAC sponsored event and see what a great group of people we have gathered here at Saint Clement!

online registration form.
Clement Companion
Are you new to Saint Clement Church and interested in getting involved with the Young Adult Community? Perhaps you have been at Saint Clement for years, received weekly emails from the listserve but have hesitated to attend any events because you weren’t sure if you would know anyone there? Either way, we have a program that is right up your alley.
The Saint Clement Young Adult Board is happy to offer a new initiative called
“Clement Companion.” A Clement Companion is someone that you can connect with who is currently involved at Saint Clement and will provide a friendly face you can recognize at various events. Now you can come to Wine & Cheese after 7pm Mass, register for the Young Adult Retreat, or participate in a service project and be confident there will be someone you know who is there as well. We know that taking the first step to get involved can be a bit intimidating so hopefully this will make it a little easier for you.
Here is how it works: Email me,
Michael Ingraham, indicating you are interested in having a Clement Companion. Once you tell me a little bit about your interests (Service, Social, Eucharistic Ministry, all of the above, etc.) we will partner you with a Saint Clement Young Adult Board member who will follow up with you. No joke, it is just that easy. If this new program sounds appealing please send me an
email and we will get the ball rolling.
Charis Ministries
We are happy to lead young adults looking for a wonderful retreat experience to Charis Ministries, whose mission is to provide opportunities for spiritual growth in the Catholic tradition for young adults, ages 20-40, using the gifts of Ignatian spirituality. Please see the
Charis Ministries website for news on upcoming young adult retreats and other spiritual offerings.
Wine and Cheese Celebrations
Every second Sunday after the 7:00pm Mass, young adults in their 20s and 30s, single or married, gather for wine and cheese in the chapel hospitality area. It's a great place to meet people and find out what's going on in Saint Clement's young adult community! Look for more information in our bulletin
