St. Clement of Romeo Parish at 343 South Main Street, Romeo , MI 48065-5185 US

The Agape Center

The Greek word AGAPE is “Love which is of and from God”. God’s love is displayed most clearly at the cross where Christ died for us. In the same way, we are to love others sacrificially.

The building on St. Clement of Rome Parish property operated by Catholic Services of

Macomb, houses the North Macomb Christian Service Office and Hispanic Ministry. It is

the place from which we, as a parish community, reach out to the needy. The essence of

AGAPE LOVE is self-sacrifice. This essential trait of AGAPE is experienced daily as volunteers

spend hours to serve others with their time and talent, as farmers share their harvest, as persons from St. Clement and Vicariate Parishes donate food for the needy. The North Macomb Vicariate Pantry cares for hundreds of persons who are unemployed or underemployed. Emergency food and personal items are provided.

AGAPE Center offers the following programs for those in need:
