Saint Clement's Roman Catholic Cemetery,  St. Clements CC#4534

Across from 2786 Main St., St. Clements Village,

East Concession 8 Lot 2, Wellesley Township, Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada

This cemetery is located in the village of St. Clements in Wellesley Township, East Concession I Lot 2. St. Clements village grew up around the church of that name; from the earliest period this was a Roman Catholic settlement. From 1834, the priest came from St. Agatha to minister to the parishioners here, and from 1852, when Bishop Michael Power of Toronto named the church after the fourth pope, there was a resident priest. The first log church was built in 1840 and has been succeeded by a splendid edifice which has been improved many times over the years.

The first cemetery was around the church, but in 1885 it was relocated on St. Clement Street, with the old burials being moved to the new location.  When the space was filling up, the cemetery was expanded in 1973 and now is located on the Main Street between Peter and Green. It is owned by the Diocese of Hamilton.  Feb 1992
