St. Clements

St. Clement's Church has a very warm and loving heart.  We come together to celebrate God's goodness and to grow in God's love.  St. Clement's is a parish that is fortunate to have people with many different gifts and personalities.  We have served the area since 1861 and we are still strong in our love for God!  Our sister Church is the Parish of St. George Wakefield, located within a 20 miles radius near Petersfield, and our Link Parish is the Parish of St. Paul Maddu in Central Buganda, Uganda.  Please feel free to read more about both of these Parishes in the upcoming pages.

About Us

Meet Our Clergy

Archdeacon Godfrey Mawejje joined us in 2000.  He and his family are originally from Uganda.  We are pleased to welcome Mawejje, his wife Agnes and their children. Mawejje has a very welcoming presence and enjoys his parishioners, whether it is in the pews during Sunday Services, their homes, and out in the community. We appreciate his many talents!

Rev. Ken Pawluk is our honourary assistant, who has made St. Clement's his home in retirement. He is well known in the area and we truly appreciate his presence and warmly welcome him and his wife Sandy!

Our Services
The people of St. Clement's come together to celebrate God's goodness and to grow in God's love. Our work with people help us to grow and maintains a long tradition that we inherited from our ancestors with whom we share the same faith.  Our Parish is committed to reflecting who we are and how we need to express our faith to God. We have a desire to form a strong sense of unity and identity, encourage congregational development, communicate efficiently, reconcile and heal, and engage in stewardship of time, talent, and money to form partnerships with the wider church. We all come together to worship as a congregation and to reach out to community with our regulat service at 11:15am and our earlier service at 7:30am.  Please contact the office at (204) 482-9486 for any further information.

Baptism
Baptisms are held throughout the year for those wishing to bring themselves or their children forward to signify their intention to participate in the special gifts and care that God gives through the Church.  If you are interested in Baptism please contact Mawejje at (204) 482-9486.

Confirmation
Regular confirmation classes commence in the Fall. If you are seeking to be confirmed please contact the office at (204) 482-9486.
 
Marriage
If you are looking to be married, please contact Mawejje at the Parish office to make arrangements for marriage preparation classes.

Christian Burial
The death of a loved one is a traumatic time for all concerned.  The clergy and members of our parish are there to offer comfort and support. Our graveyard is an inter-denominational gravesite. It is cared for by staff all summer with the planting of shrubs and flowers, and the grass is mowed on a regular basis. In the winter, the snow is kept clear.  We offer plots or niches in the Columbarium, in our beautiful church yard.   Contact the Churchyard office at (204) 482-7237 if you require additional information.
 
Bible Study 
Rev. Ken Pawluk holds a regular Bible study group in the Spring and in the Fall.  Please watch the Church Bulletin and our website for dates and times.  

Choir and Music Ministry  
If  you are interested in singing and/or joining our choir, please see Eileen Cyr.  The choir practices every other week, except in the summer.  We have 3 organists who alternate playing for us on Sunday mornings. 
Do you play an instrument?  If you are interested in joining our music ministry, please contact Eileen.  The Parish of St Clement loves music, and we would be glad to have you join us!

Server's, Reader's, Greeter's, and Cup Administrant's 
We have many members of our congregation who do read, serve, and greet and we are always looking for more! New members are always more than welcome.  If you are interested in any of these areas, please see Mawejje or a Vestry member.

Our Parish Hall is available for rent! Hall may be rented for Showers, Meetings, and other various social functions.  Church related functions will have first priority.  Hall is available for morning, afternoon, all day or evening rental.  Hall rental is $150.00 and $25.00 for use of good dishes if necessary.  Please contact David Cove (204 482 6668) or his cell (204 481 1407) for more information.

Our Sister Parish
  
Our sister parish is the Parish of St. George's Wakefield.  The parish is located on # 9 highway between Petersfield and Clandeboye.  Mawejje shares his time between both parishes.  Their service is at 9:30 a.m. every Sunday and they would warmly welcome you!
