During my 62 years on this earth, I have always considered Father Davenport as my primary priest. The Church of the Nativity has been my family's parish since 1948. Having attended Nativity elementary school from 3rd through 8th grades, I (as many other boys) did a stint as an alter boy and served mass with Father Davenport many times. When my wife and I were married (1992), Father Davenport performed our wedding. In 2004, Father Davenport performed the Last Rites for my mother in her final days. I will always remember Father Davenport with fond memories and a special place in my heart.

Rev. Clement Davenport was very supportive of the Sisters of the Presentation, especially when they lived in the Convent at Nativity. The Sisters of the Presentation are praying for your family and friends during this difficult time. May God bless you with love, comfort and peace.

We met Father Art when he came to St. Peter's in 1971 and he has been "Our" family priest ever since. He has been there with us at literally every important family event, both happy and sad, ever since. Words can't explain how much he will be missed!!

One of the good guys I had the honor to have meet while a young teen.
So sad to hear of his passing and proud of his service to others.
He made a everlasting impression on me back in his early priesthood days while at Nativity.
Great full life with unconditional love for those in need.

When Fr. Davenport retired and came to live at St. Matthew's Church, I was a Secretary there at the rectory. He was a wonderful priest! The lady that was his secretary at Nativity would call me all the time to tell me that they missed him and how lucky we were to have him! I will NEVER forget that he taught me to TRUST IN GOD and he had a HUGE picture of THE DIVINE MERCY in his room! I was blessed to have known him and his wonderful sense of humor!

We first met Father Art through my sister when he was in Pacifica, CA. A sincerely kind, compassionate, and loving man. He became a figure in our family and we asked him to officiate our wedding. Thank you Father Art for being present and guiding us through our family's ups and downs. May you rest in eternal peace.
