| St. Cletus |
History
The name “Cletus” means,
“One Who Has Been Called,” and that is the perfect name for him because Cletus
was called by God to serve the Church. He was ordained a priest by Saint Peter
himself. Cletus (sometimes called Anacletus) also became the third pope, serving from the year 76 to 88. He
ordained quite a few priests himself, as the Church was growing quickly at that
time.
Activity
One of the smart things
that Pope Saint Cletus did was he divide Rome into 25 parishes so that the
people could be served more efficiently. Today, look at your diocese’s website
and find out how many parishes are overseen by your local bishop or archbishop.
Pray for each parish by name, asking God to bless them.
