In 1916, the parish of St. Peter's, which had been established in 1834 to serve the whole of Saratoga Springs, was split along Broadway.

Bishop Edmund Gibbons dedicated the church, and thus the parish, to Clement Maria Hofbauer on November 25, 1918.

[3] The parish serves Catholics on the East Side of the City of Saratoga Springs, as well as in the neighboring Town of Wilton.

St. Clement's created the mission church of St. Therese in Gansevoort out of the local Grange hall in 1965; the first Mass was celebrated there on September 18, 1966.

St. Clement's Regional Catholic School continues to serve Pre-Kindergarten through fifth grade.
