What is Anchor Ball?
Anchor Ball is our biennial auction and gala that benefits both our church and school, while also fostering a vibrant sense of community within Saint Clement Parish. This beloved tradition takes place every other year and serves as both a fundraiser and an opportunity for our parish family to come together and celebrate the spirit of Saint Clement.
