New Look, New Phase in Parish Communication
This weekend you will begin to experience something new in the communications strategies of our parish. After much thought, prayer, and work, we are ready to begin this new phase in the many tools through which we communicate as a parish.These include the launch of our redesigned parish bulletin and The Plaza, and a simpler, easy to remember domain name: clement.org. Please see page 7 of this weekend's bulletin for more information on this new phase in parish communication.

Parishioners Walk to End Violence
On April 2, a contingent of Saint Clement parishioners marched in the CROSSwalk Holy Week procession, a vigil to honor children slain by gunfire in Chicago. The walk began at St. James Cathedral at 65 East Huron with a short ecumenical prayer service that included Cardinal Francis George. Hundreds of participants from churches, anti-violence organizations, and youth services groups then walked to the Richard J. Daley Center in the Loop where city and government representatives honored the dead children. The procession continued to Old St. Patrick's Church in the West Loop for another service of remembrance. The procession concluded at Stroger Hospital, where so many of the young victims lost their battles to live. The march was a moving tribute to the victims, as well as a call to action to get involved.
Anyone interested in volunteering to help save the lives of at-risk children can visit the CROSSwalk Chicago website which lists many ways you can make a difference.
