St Clement of Rome Catholic Church

Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we welcome, embrace, and unite the many faces of Christ who worship with us. As a family, we deepen our faith and seek God through prayer and good works.

Jesus Offers Us Freedom

The freedom that Jesus offers us, today, in our hearing, is the establishment of all the right conditions, mostly in our hearts, which enable us to become the Christ- like person whom our God and Father calls us to be.

It is, therefore, total freedom by definition; it is full liberation which implies that, not only must we resist yielding to our passions and any shameful drive; but that we accept gladly to be called to submit to the heavier chains of self-immolation for the sake of others.

Jesus Offers Us Freedom

Today
Fr Dino Vanin

The readings for the 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time are about freedom. From the first reading (Neh 8:2-4, 5-6, 8-10) we gather that, after returning from exile, for the first time, in a highly charged atmosphere of deep emotions, the Jews were free to celebrate God’s gift of the Torah (the Law). In the second reading (1 Cor 12:12-30), St. Paul tells us how Jesus freed us from sin through his blood on the cross, and how he has poured his Holy…

Deacon Kurt Godfryd

In an 1894 letter to her newlywed cousin, St. Therese of Lisieux wrote: “I am asking our Lord to be as generous to you as He was to the bridal pair at Cana. May He invariably change the water into wine! I mean, may He prolong His gift of happiness, and as far as possible sweeten the bitter trials you will meet on your way. Trials! Fancy introducing that word into my letter—how could I?—at a moment when I realize that life for…

Baptism and Our Prophetic Mission

Jan 11, 2025
Deacon Kurt Godfryd

Have you ever been given a gift and not opened it? Or, have you ever been given a gift and partially opened it? Years ago, I remember watching the movie, Agnes of God, in which a prosecuting attorney (and lapsed Catholic) was interviewing the mother superior of a convent regarding a potential crime she believed had been committed there. As their relationship deepened, the two found themselves beneath a gazebo on the convent grounds. On a cold, crisp Canadian morning, weather…

The Magi and Their Daring Decision

Jan 4, 2025
Fr Dino Vanin

The importance of the Solemnity of the Epiphany is all in the contemplation of the mystery, hidden for millennia from past generations, and revealed in the fulness of time in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God in human flesh. It is the desire of God the Father to save every one of his children and, at the end, to welcome all of them into his heavenly home, to share in his endless joy. The fulfillment of this grandiose…
