Welcome Stella Maris
We extend a very warm welcome to Stella Maris as they prepare the former St. Malachi convent building as a residence for women. Stella Maris expands its service to those in recovery and we are proud that some of our space can be used for their vital mission. Over the next couple of months we will see some contractors and extra dumpsters as they make the necessary improvements. This will include their usage of the parking lot as vehicles and construction-related equipment is present. More information will follow in the weeks and months ahead.
Bible Study on Mary Begins 7/8/2020
All are welcome to an online Bible Study on Mary, led by acclaimed scripture scholar Dr. Brant Pitre of the Augustine Institute, and based on his book, Jesus and the Jewish Roots of Mary.
Have you ever questioned Catholic teaching on Mary? Have you asked questions, like, why does the Church teach that Mary was a lifetime virgin? Why do we call Mary Queen of Heaven and Earth? Why do Catholics reverence Mary? What is the biblical justification for any of this? If so, this is the series for you! You will be amazed and inspired.
Here is the format:
- Each week, you view a 35 minute video on the Formed platform. You will see the presentation by Dr. Brant Pitre.
- Each Wednesday, from 6:30PM to 8:00PM, join St. Malachi and St. Patrick parishioners on a Google Meet on-line discussion meeting.
Here are the sessions, which will start on Wednesday, July 8, 2020:
Week 1: The New Eve
Week 2: The New Ark
Week 3: Mother of the Messiah
Week 4: The Queen Mother
Week 5: The Perpetual Virgin
Week 6: Mother of Sorrows
Week 7: The New Rachel
Week 8: Questions and Answers
To register, of for any questions, please email Parish Catechetical Leader Stephanie Pritts at stephanie.p@stmalachi.org.

Gardeners Needed!
Do you like to play in the plants? If so, please consider adopting a section of the campus grounds for weeding, cleanup, and trimming periodically over the summer. Set your own schedule. Please bring your own tools and refuse bags. We need help with the flower beds and garden areas. There will be no mulching or extra planting this year. Together, we can keep what we have looking good and growing well. You, of course, are welcome to adopt more than one area. Contact Kay Vine at 216-563-1993 or kmvine3@gmail.com.
Can You Help Care For Altar Linenes?
We are in need of three individuals to assume the responsibility of washing & ironing the altar linens—purificators, towels & corporals—that we use at Mass and returning them to the Church. The laundry will be hanging in a plastic bag in the vestment closet. Carry it home, put in the washer without touching it and dispose of the bag. This work is done on a rotating first through fifth week basis so signing on means one time per month. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Contact Kay Vine at 216-563-1993 or kmvine3@gmail.com.
Thank You to Mask Makers!
We send our thanks to Nadge Herceg and Cathy Jacob for their time and love in sewing and donating face masks to St. Malachi. We expect to wear masks for at least 12-18 months, and will make good use of these artistic masks. Thank you so much!
Joyful Sacramental Reception!
The face masks and physical distancing in St Malachi Church last Sunday afternoon did not diminish the joy of our celebration of Sacraments of Initiation with our two catechumens, Marissa Pence and Christopher Horvath, and our three candidates for full communion in the Catholic Church, Amy Friedel, Carli Leone, and Reed Remington. God bestowed His sacramental grace on His beloved daughters and sons during a beautiful liturgy concelebrated by Fr Gurnick and Fr Hollis, a senior priest who now resides at St Patrick. While the mechanics of the sacraments were individualized for safety and hygiene, the love and joy bestowed by Father, Son and Spirit were not dimmed or diminished. And, thanks to our hospitality ministers, a physically distanced outdoor reception provided fellowship and a treat as we shared the joy of the day! Congratulations and prayers to all!
Pope Francis Quote For June 20-21, 2020
“Jesus welcomes sinners and eats with them. The same happens with us, in every Mass, in every church: Jesus is happy to welcome us at His table, where he offers Himself for us.” Also, “If we draw God’s mercy, forgiveness and tenderness from the Heart of Jesus, then our heart too will gradually become more patient, more generous, and more merciful.” From the Pope’s Twitter page: @Pontifex
A Prayer for Dad on Father’s Day
“God our Father, we give you thanks and praise for fathers young and old.
We pray for young fathers, newly embracing their vocation; may they find courage and perseverance to balance work, family and faith in joy and sacrifice.
We pray for our own fathers around the world whose children are lost or suffering; may they know that the God of compassion walks with them in their sorrow.
We pray for men who are not fathers but still mentor and guide us with fatherly love and advise.
We remember fathers, grandfathers and great grandfathers who are no longer with us but who live forever in our memory and nourish us with their love. Amen”
