Father Clement was 78. Born in New York City, son of Marquerite and Harry Bloomfield, Father Clement attended the public grammer and high schools in the Bronx.

He became active in the Genealogical Society of New Jersey and the national Society of the Sons of The American Revolution, Washington, D.C. His notes and findings are voluminous. It was this interest in the past that made Father Clement a prime candidate for Abbey Archivist. He served in this capacity from 1970 till he died. Father Clement loved to talk, especially about his life as a non-Catholic and his conversion to the faith. His faith meant very much to him. Father Clement will be remembered in our prayers and Masses. We ask you to remember him also in yours. Pax!²
