Bishop Gerald J. Clements, was born March 13th 1957 and was baptized Roman
Catholic and attended catholic school in his youth. His spiritual formation can be credited
to his love for Saint Francis of Assisi. Bishop Clements received his theological education
through the Roman Catholic Church at the Franciscan Seminary in Andover
MA as well as many
years of independent study in various spiritual paths as Celtic, American Indian and
Eastern religions.
Bishop Clements was ordained to the priesthood on May 17th 1997 and
then elevated to the order of Bishop on October 5th 2002. As a priest
and bishop, Bishop Clements has always believed that the church must
remain grounded in the teaching of the ancient church of Jesus Christ and continue the work
which Jesus began, and has entrusted to his disciples. As Christians but
especially as members of the clergy we must live our life in a manner
that draws people closer to God, not separate them from God. Bishop
Clements firmly believes in the sacraments of the church and that they
are for all people not just a chosen few.
Bishop Clements, as with most priest of the greater Independent
Catholic Church must supplement his income through working in a secular
career. This is an asset to ministry not a liability. To truly serve the
people of God we must walk in our every day life with the people of God. Bishop
Clements serves as a computer engineer and now works
as the Director of Customer Service for a major international computer
company.
Bishop Clements is a married priest and resides in Lynn, Mass with his
lovely wife of 27 years Fran. Bishop Clements and Fran also take great
pride in their family caring for Fran’s parents at their home and
helping to raise their nieces and nephews. As the Presiding Bishop of
the Reformed Catholic Church International of New England Bishop
Clements firmly believes that there is finally a viable alternative for
Christians who are seeking God’s blessing in their lives. For any
