Youth Ministry

 
The mission of St. Clement of Rome Youth Ministry is to create a joyful community of young disciples unified in Christ's call to pray, love, and serve.

Since 1998, St. Clement of Rome Youth Ministry has existed to serve high school and middle school teens of the parish. All teens are welcome to encounter a life of fun and freedom in Jesus Christ in a community that feels like home.

Adore – Eucharistic Adoration
Youth Ministry is proud to sponsor a monthly Holy Hour of Eucharistic Adoration and Reconciliation for the entire parish.
