St Clement’s is situated on the historic Opeongo Road which was built in 1854 in order to connect the Ottawa River with Lake Opeongo, and to open up the wilderness for settlement. The congregation was organized about 1890 on the initiative of Bishop John Travers Lewis. During the first few years, services were held in the log homes of the settlers.
The church building was constructed in 1892 on property owned by the William Giernan family and was consecrated by Bishop Hamilton on October 8, 1892.
Today St. Clement's is one of three chapels in the Parish of the Valley. A service of worship is held once per year, usually on the last Sunday in August at 2pm. The chapel is also available at all times for baptisms, weddings and funerals. St. Clement's chapel is sponsored by the congregation of St. John the Evangelist in Eganville.
