St. Clement of Rome is excited to announce the
return of SCR Children's Church. This will take
place every Sunday at the 10:00 AM Mass during
the readings and homily for those children ages
4 to 6. Your child will participate in engaging
activities to help them relate to the liturgy in a
small setting with other children their age. This will
allow their parents to focus more easily on the
Liturgy of the Word! We will begin our Children's
Church on Sunday, Sep. 19. If you have any
questions, please contact Caroline Huber by email
at [email protected] or call the parish
center at 887-7821.

Prayer for America to Our Blessed Mother
O Most Blessed Virgin Mother of Mercy,
at this most crucial time, we entrust the United
States of America to your loving care. Most Holy
Mother, we beg you to reclaim this land for the
glory of your Son. Overwhelmed with the burden
of the sins of our nation, we cry to you from the
depths of our hearts and seek refuge in your
motherly protection. Look down with mercy upon
us and touch the hearts of our people. Amen.
Prayer to St. Joseph by Pope Leo XIII
To you, O blessed Joseph, we
have recourse in our affliction.
And having implored of your
most holy Spouse, we now, with
hearts filled with confidence,
earnestly beg you to take us also
under your protection. By that
charity with which you were
united to the Immaculate Virgin
Mother of God, and by that
fatherly love with which you
cherished the Child Jesus, we
beseech you and we humbly pray that you will look
down graciously upon that inheritance which Jesus
Christ purchased by His Blood, and will help us in our
need by your power and strength. Defend, O most
watchful guardian of the Holy Family, the chosen
children of Jesus Christ. Keep from us, O most loving
Father, all blight of error and corruption. Aid us from
on high, most valiant defender, in this conflict with the
powers of darkness. As you once rescued the Child
Jesus from mortal danger, so now defend God’s Holy
Church from the snares of the enemy and from all
adversity. Shield us ever under your patronage, that,
following your example and strengthened by your help,
we may live a virtuous life, die a happy death, and
obtain everlasting bliss in Heaven. Amen.
