St. Clements Church is a Roman Catholic parish church in Saratoga Springs, New York, United States. It is under the authority of the Diocese of Albany, and was founded under the patronage of Clement Mary Hofbauer and has been staffed by clergy of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (the Redemptorists, for short) since its founding in 1917.
History
The first Catholic Mass in the church was celebrated on the church's opening day, October 14, 1917. Bishop Edmund Gibbons dedicated the church, and thus the parish, to Clemens Maria Hofbauer on November 25, 1918. The parish serves Catholics in the City of Saratoga Springs, as well as in the neighboring Town of Wilton. St. Clement's created the mission church of St. Therese in Gansevoort out of the local Grange hall in 1965; the first mass was celebrated there on September 18, 1966. After fifty years at its original location, a new building was constructed at its current location and opened in 1967, the 50th anniversary of the parish's foundation.[1]
School
The parish also features St. Clement's Regional Catholic School, which serves Pre-Kindergarten through fifth grade. The current principal is Jane Kromm.
