As someone deeply committed to the values that define John Clements, I am honored to reflect on and learn from the legacy that she continues to build.
A Day of Reflection and Gratitude
The festivities began with a deeply moving mass, led by a remarkably energetic priest whose spirit set the tone for an inspiring day.
