Clement blesses new building
Dublin Core
Title
Clement blesses new building
Description
Before celebrating the first Mass in the congregation's newly renovated church, Father Robert M. Clement blesses the entrance to the Church of the Beloved Disciple with the Eucharist. Surrounded by clergy, parishioners, and the church's distinctive processional banners, the ceremony marked the dedication of the congregation's first permanent home after years of worshiping in borrowed spaces. The blessing inaugurated a new chapter in the life of one of the nation's earliest openly LGBTQ-affirming Catholic communities.
