Welcome Rev. David A. Novak to the St. Clement Parish
Thank you for the warm and gracious welcome I have received from all the St. Clement parishioners I have met! I am very happy and grateful to be appointed your Pastor. I look forward to many years of praying with you, working with you and gathering with all of you. I look forward to sharing more of my story with you and, more importantly, I look forward to listening to you and learning about the life of St. Clement Parish. I have been welcomed most warmly by the people I have met at daily Mass and in the Rectory Office.
