St. Alphonsus-St. Clement Parish

The dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation for people living in or visiting the Archdiocese of Detroit is extended until Ash Wednesday, February 17, 2021.

We encourage those who can to come and join your parish family in celebrating Mass on Sunday. Sunday Mass and keeping the Lord's Day holy, is still an obligation for all.

We ask you continue to use common sense, stay healthy and safe, and "repay the Lord for all of His goodness!

The St. Alphonsus-St. Clement Conference of the St Vincent de Paul Society would like to thank the members of our parish and community for the overwhelming support given during this past year.  As we close the books on a successful, though very different,  2019-2020 year, we would like to report that our Conference performed 450 service hours, traveled 279 miles and provided nearly $10,000 in funds for food, utilities, furniture and housing assistance to 944 individuals. Many of those served were recipients of the 'Care Kit' project launched in April with donations of food, hygiene items and cash from our generous patrons. In July, the conference received a $5,000 grant from the national organization to continue this effort. 

We are off to an excellent start for the 2020 - 2021 reporting year. This Christmas we distributed food baskets to 36 families, and provided $25 gift cards to 103 children and senior citizens. Your outpouring of generosity in providing food, cash donations and gifts cards made this possible, and is greatly appreciated.

 St. Vincent de Paul Clothing Donations

Those who wish to donate clothing to the thrift store may place securely fastened bags in the receptacle near Father Yagley Hall.

Thank you for your support!

Led by the Spirit on Mission A Pastoral Note from Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron on Families of Parishes (November 22, 2020)

Archbishop Vigneron Letter regarding Families of Parishes

Article on Detroit Catholic website

Sent on Mission is the next phase of our movement to Unleash the Gospel throughout southeast Michigan and beyond. It is the continuation of the work of the Holy Spirit to move us from maintenance to mission. It is our effort to realize the fruit of Synod 16 where the Holy Spirit spoke through the faithful in the Archdiocese of Detroit.  Over the next two years, all parishes of the Archdiocese of Detroit will join other parishes in new groupings called “families of parishes.” Families of parishes are groups of parishes, generally three to six, sharing resources to advance the mission, including having multiple priests and deacons serving the family of parishes. This new model will allow the priests, deacons, and lay staff associated with each parish to better share their gifts and talents with the whole family of parishes. This is a significant change of the way our parishes are currently structured, but a necessary step in our missionary transformation. Just like the early Church and the missionary activity of the early apostles, the transition to this new structure will require docility to the Holy Spirit, a spirit of collaboration and innovation, and confidence in God who continues to lead us in our mission to unleash the Gospel in southeast Michigan.
