THE LOSS OF FATHER JOHN SCULLY
We are saddened by the loss of our former pastor Father John Scully.
His Funeral Mass was held at St. Clement’s on Friday, August 5 at 11:00 a.m. Bishop O’Connell officiated and many priests from the Diocese and elsewhere paid their respects.
Her was interred at St. Gabriel’s Cemetery in Marlboro with other area priests who had passed in the past. A light repast was held after the service and internment at the St. Clement’s Gymnasium.
The viewing had also been held at St. Clement’s Church on Thursday, August 4 from 5pm to 9:30pm and on Friday morning, August 5, from 9am to 10:30am.

PLEASE KNOW THAT THERE ARE SCAMMERS TRYING TO GET PARISHIONERS TO PURCHASE GIFT CARDS FOR “FATHER VALA” WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE AND AGAIN A PARISHIONER WAS ASKED TO PURCHASE A GIFT CARD BY THE SCAMMER. THE PARISH WOULD NEVER MAKE SUCH A REQUEST
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Greetings everyone. St. Clement parish has returned to pre-Covid arrangements in our church for liturgical celebrations. Parishioners may sit in any of the pews. For continued safety, I encourage you to please maintain social distancing as best as possible. Wearing of masks is now optional. For the distribution of Holy Communion, parishioners will process toward the altar, as was done in the past. It has been great to see many of you returning to Mass and bringing life to our celebrations again.
God bless, Fr. Tom
