Keeping People
and Their Pets Together

The St. Clement’s People & Pets Ministry strives to keep people and their pets together in these tough times.  St. Clement’s has been a pet-friendly church for decades.  Through this ministry, the parish channels its love of animals to serve the needs of the local community.

On Pet-Friendly Sundays, the third Sunday of every month, people are welcome to bring their entire families – people and pets – to worship services.  While most pets attending are dogs, others are welcome, including cats, domestic skunks, and bearded dragons. All receive blessings. 

St. Clement's Pet Food Bank

Our Pet Food Bank doesn’t just deliver food, it delivers hope. With human food prices still high and pet food prices skyrocketing, too many people have to make the choice between buying food for themselves, sharing their human food with their beloved pets, or going without themselves so as to feed their pets.

The need is great, but if St. Clement’s Pet Food Bank can make even the tiniest of dents in that need it’ll mean that some people and their pets will have one less thing to worry about.

And we hope you’ll agree, that’s a good thing – right?

Pet-Friendly Weddings

St. Clement’s welcomes pet-friendly weddings.  In the courtyard, it also has a St. Francis Remembrance Garden – a contemplative, quiet space where more than 250 pets are remembered.
