Start Here This Fall & Advent!
Looking for a meaningful way to connect, explore faith, and get involved this season? Fall at Saint Clement has been full of opportunities for everyone — whether you’re new to Chicago, curious about faith, or looking to grow spiritually. As we draw towards the end of our season, we invite you to join us for our Feast Day of St. Clement (Nov. 15/16) celebrations to come together as a community, our Thanksgiving Food Bags Drive (thru Nov. 13) to help give to those in need, our Solemn Adoration and Vespers for All Souls (Nov. 13) to remember our loved ones who have gone before us, and our Mass and Immigrant Support Resource Night (Nov. 12) to offer prayer and solidarity to our immigrant neighbors. We also invite you to OCIA (begins Nov 17), perfect for those discerning becoming Catholic or completing their initiation.
At the end of the month, we begin the Advent season. We invite you to enter a time of hope, anticipation, and community under our parish theme: God Is With Us - You Are Not Alone. The word Emmanuel—meaning “God with us”—reminds us that the birth of Jesus at Bethlehem is not just a story of the past, but a living promise for today. Advent is our reminder that we are never alone—God is present in every moment, walking with us and working through us. Begin your Advent journey with The Little Blue Book for daily prayer and reflection. Through the Jesse Tree (Nov. 22–Dec. 13), our annual Advent Giving Tree, parishioners can extend Christ’s love to others by supporting local organizations with gifts. Our Advent Healing & Reconciliation Service (Dec. 4) and Women of the parish are invited to Advent by Candlelight (for women) (Dec. 9), offer peaceful evenings to encounter God’s mercy and love. We’ll come together as a community for plenty of moments of joy including our Jingle & Mingle w/ Santa (Dec. 7) and on Gaudete Sunday (Dec. 14)—a day of rejoicing—we’ll celebrate the nearness of Christmas with festive sweaters, Coffee & Donuts after morning Masses, and Sundays Uncorked after the 4:30 and 7 p.m. Masses, complete with cheer and community.
We also welcome the return of Handel’s Messiah (Dec 13), a beloved Saint Clement tradition now in its 50th year, with two concerts. The Family-Friendly Messiah Concert (11 a.m.) invites children and families into the joy of music and storytelling, while the Full Messiah Concert (7 p.m.) offers an evening of breathtaking choral and orchestral beauty that ushers in the Christmas season.
Come as you are, bring a friend, and discover ways to meet new people, build community, and deepen your spiritual life this fall and Advent at Saint Clement. Every gathering is a chance to connect, grow, and experience purpose — together.
Where Are You on Your Path?
At Saint Clement, we believe each of us is loved, imperfect, and always invited into deeper relationship with God. And each of us is on a unique path of discovery. No matter where you are on your path, you’re welcome at Saint Clement. Come take the next step in your journey of faith.
