St Clement Catholic Church

What St Clement Catholic Church does

St. Clement's Roman Catholic Parish is a Catholic parish in Saratoga Springs, New York, operating under the canonical governance of the Diocese of Albany and staffed continuously by Redemptorist (C.Ss.R.) clergy since its founding on October 14, 1917. The parish serves approximately 800 registered families through a broad portfolio of spiritual, educational, and social service programs: daily and Sunday Mass with full liturgical and music ministries, sacramental preparation (Baptism, Reconciliation, Eucharist, Confirmation), multi-tier faith formation from elementary through high school, youth ministry, adult prayer and retreat ministries, pastoral care, bereavement support, and the wholly-owned St. Clement's School (K-12). It also runs a regional food pantry serving roughly 200 families per month, a monthly soup kitchen serving approximately 75 people, an Elizabeth Ministry for expectant mothers, a Snacpack youth nutrition partnership, and a recurring Christmas program for homeless veterans through the Veterans & Community Housing Coalition.

The parish's technology footprint is intentionally modest and entirely vendor-supplied: a Diocesan-hosted website (Diocesan.com platform), the myParish mobile application providing calendar, daily readings, prayers, and homilies, Vanco Payment Services for credit card and EFT e-giving, SignUpGenius for food pantry reservations and volunteer scheduling, KeepAndShare for facility calendar management, and Facebook livestream for broadcasting weekday and Sunday Masses. The physical campus at 231 Lake Avenue comprises an 816-seat church, Mary's Chapel, the parish center, and multiple meeting rooms. Operations are supported by a small staff of approximately 15 named personnel (Pastor, Deacons, Parish Secretary, Parish Administrator/Youth Minister, Music Director, Pastoral Care coordinator, Food Pantry coordinator, two Faith Formation coordinators, Principal of the school, and Custodian) augmented by an extensive volunteer minister corps across liturgical, outreach, and formation roles.

Financially, St. Clement's is sustained by Sunday offerings and recurring stewardship contributions, sacramental fees (wedding deposits of $50 for parishioners and $300 for non-parishioners; faith formation program fees from $50 for Continuing Confirmation Prep up to $200 annually for families with three or more children), and charitable donations funding the food pantry and outreach operations. The organization is a nonprofit religious corporation under the Diocese of Albany with no venture, private equity, or external institutional investment disclosed; commercial revenue generation, external fundraising rounds, and equity instruments are not part of its structure.
