St. Alphonsus-St. Clement Parish

The dogma of the Immaculate Conception asserts that, "from the first moment of her conception, the Blessed Virgin Mary was, by the singular grace and privilege of Almighty God, and in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of Mankind, kept free from all stain of original sin.

"It is designated a holy day of obligation when all Roman Catholics are required to attend mass.

Mass times: St. Alphonsus-St. Clement Church 9:00 AM (also live-streamed)

We are thankful that so many parishioners are returning to mass. For those who are unable to attend mass in person we are continuing to livestream mass every weekend so you can remain connected with our parish family by participating in the mass online.

The 4:00 PM Saturday and 9:00 AM Sunday masses can be seen on our YouTube channel.  To view the current week’s masses or previously recorded masses click below for links to the livestream mass:

The St. Alphonsus-St. Clement SVDP will again distribute food boxes to our neighbors in need for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our parishioners and patrons, we are not in need of any food for these families -- our food pantry is fully stocked!

However, if you wish to donate food for the holiday season, we request that you provide small, individually wrapped items for the care kits we give to the homeless and indigent. The items needed are granola or fruit bars, raisins, peanuts, cheese and crackers, small To Go peanut butter tubs, beef jerky, tuna packets, beanie weenies, Vienna sausages, sealed fruit cups, applesauce cups, cookies and other sweets. Please keep in mind that volunteers pack 8 - 10 items in a quart-sized zip lock baggie, so the smaller the food item the better.

Our conference is truly blessed with such generous, caring supporters, and we appreciate all you do for those in need! As the saying goes, you help us help others.

Last year  the St. Alphonsus-St. Clement SVDP modified its Christmas Giving process due to COVID that kept so many of us away from crowds. lnstead of buying specific gifts for needy children, we provided families with gift cards. This went over so weil that we've decided to do the same in 2021!

As was the case in 2020, we will not be putting up a Christmas Tree with gift requests from children in our community. lnstead, we will distribute gift cards to every child 16 or under who requests holiday assistance. In addition, we will set aside some cards for the Justice Initiative, which serves the incarcerated and those recently released from prison.

lf you wish to participate, you may purchase one or more gift cards from VISA, Meijer, Target or Walmart for $25 and drop them in the SVdP poor box or at the parish office. lf you prefer not to shop at all, you can make a monetary donation instead. Simply put a check or cash in an envelope labeled "Christmas gift cards" and leave it in the poor box or office. Please have your donations in by Sunday, Dec. 6 so we can start planning the distribution. Thank you for your generosity and support!

During this pandemic St. Alphonsus-St. Clement still needs your support. We still have a need to pay our staff, maintain the church building and, importantly, continue our outreach ministries. We ask that, to the best of your ability, you continue to make your weekly offertory donations, either by mailing them to the Parish at 7469 Calhoun, Dearborn, MI 48126, dropping them off in the office mail box, or making an Online Donation.

St. Alphonsus-St. Clement parish has reached 100% of our goal for the 2021 Catholic Services Appeal.  Thank you to the 101 parishioners who have made gifts and pledges totaling $57,538.  If you are still prayerfully considering your CSA pledge, please know that our parish will now receive 100% of the gifts we receive. We will continue to accept CSA donations through April 2022.  Any and all CSA donations will be returned tax free to the parish.

Thank you again for helping to Fuel the Mission to witness Christ.

If you are still prayerfully considering your CSA pledge, you may mail your completed pledge card in the pre-addressed envelope that was provide you. You may also pledge your gift to our parish's campaign online at givecsa.org
