St. Clement's Episcopal Church

St. Clement's Episcopal Mission was organized in 1859. Plans were made to build in 1860, but with the war, depression and Yellow Fever, it was not until 1876 that the church was built. On November 8, 1876, Bishop William M. Green made his first trip to the new church and six persons were confirmed.

The membership of St. Clement's has never been over 50 and at the present time only 12 members are on the church roll. Not only is it the smallest church in Vaiden, it is the smallest active Episcopal Mission in Mississippi. The Baptists, Methodists, and Presbyterians have always been helpful, especially as choir volunteers.  “If all the tales are told, retell them, brother, and if few attend, let those who listen feel.”
