Parish Council
The St. Clement Parish Council is a vital and important ministry in the parish. Through it, the priorities and directions of the parish are determined, new ministries undertaken, budgets approved, and buildings built. It is a primary advisory and consultative body for the pastor.
In addition to long range planning, the council members address pastoral concerns brought forth by the pastor. The pastor works collaboratively with the council and participates in the workings of the council.

Adult Faith Formation Team
The goal of the Adult Formation Team is to design and implement a comprehensive parish based adult faith formation effort. It does this by identifying, creating, and offering a variety of adult resources and opportunities. Its role is consultation, planning, and program implementation for adult faith formation in the parish. (Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us, par. 143)
The Adult Faith Formation Team works with the Director of the Religious Formation to plan, execute, and evaluate adult learning opportunities that respond to the needs of the parish community. The Team plays a major role in the representation of the diverse elements and groups within the community.
