St. Clement Parish was established on October 1, 1951, as a parish of the Archdiocese of San Francisco. On January 13, 1962 we became part of the newly created Diocese of Oakland. Priests of the Diocese were entrusted with the pastoral care of the parish. In 1980, St Clement Parish was then entrusted to the Congregation of the Holy Cross, a religious order of priests and brothers.

We take our name from Clement, a priest and martyr of the early Church who was the third pope to succeed St. Peter. He is remembered for his love of the Gospel he preached and for the peace and unity he encouraged among the people of the early Church. His feast day is celebrated on November 23.

The Latin root of "clement" means mercy and tender, qualities seen in the life of Clement. As the Church of St. Clement, we desire to be witnesses of these same kind of Christian virtues in the generosity and hospitality we show to one another and to all.

It is our desire to fulfill our mission through:

Worship and Prayer
Sacramental Preparation
Education
Service
Administration

We invite you join us in the ministries of the community of St. Clement.
