L’Arche Cleveland, a faith-based organization, is in serious need of assistants to care for and engage with adults with developmental disabilities in our group homes. We can use your help on a fulltime, part-time, or summer basis for days, evening, nights, or weekends. No experience is necessary; we will train you. We can be flexible in hours and we offer health benefits. This is a rewarding job; it is providing to those most in need.
“The goal of education and formation of the ministry is continually to recognize the Lord’s voice, his face, and his touch in every person we meet” -Henri Nouwen.
If you are interested or have any questions, please contact Leo Shriver at 216-721-2614 or leo@larchecleveland.org.
L’Arche Cleveland is a faith-based, nonprofit that provides loving, caring group homes for adults with developmental disabilities. At L’Arche, our residents are called “Core Members” because they are at the core of our mission. We are not a temporary placement nor a way station in life; we provide a home for the Core Members’ entire lives. We become the Core Members’ family. For some, we are their only family. Please remember the Core Members, the assistants who lovingly care for them, and our management team in your prayers. (larchecleveland.org)
Please consider volunteering for a few hours to assist with meal preparation, clean-up and serving. The Back Door Ministry serves guests at the Washington St. entrance of the Parish Hall. Guests are served at the door & no guest enters the hall. Volunteers are needed from 9AM-1:30PM. Please call the rectory if interested.
I thank all those who have been close to me with prayer and affection during my hospital stay. Let us not forget to pray for the sick, and for those who assist them…that no one may be left alone, and that everyone may receive the anointing of listening, closeness and care. We can all give it with a visit, a phone call, an outstretched hand. Pope Francis on Twitter
The story of the multiplication of the loaves and the fishes is a familiar one, and has many lessons, not least of which is how our willingness to share who we are and what we have. Exercising good stewardship serves to release God’s power and bountifulness on the world and its people. Do we realize that there is enough for all if we are willing to share? Are we aware that God is at work when we share our time, our money and our other resources in His name?

The painting of the sanctuary was completed on Thursday, July 22. The painters removed their tarps and equipment on Friday. Because the area around the sanctuary and the sacristies needs to be cleaned and the statues returned to their shrines, this weekend’s Masses will be celebrated in the Lower Hall. Masses will resume in the Church on Tuesday, July 27. We thank you for your understanding and patience over these last several weeks.
Unfortunately, the painting of the sanctuary is taking much longer than anticipated. As a result, the church building will remain closed until the weekend July 25 and 26. Weekend of July 17/18: The 4:00PM Vigil and the 10:00AM liturgies will be celebrated in the Lower Hall. While the hall is air-conditioned, the liturgical ambiance will be quite simple. Weekday Mass Temporarily Re-Located: Saint Patrick Parish will temporarily be home to the 12Noon Masses this Tuesday, July 20; and Friday, July 23. We anticipate that the painting of the church will be completed by the end of the week and we will celebrate Mass in the Church next weekend. All requested Mass intentions will be honored for these days. In the event of a funeral, families are welcome at St. Patrick during this period. Please call Jeanette or Charlene at the rectory 216-861-5343.
The parish’s biggest fundraiser, the Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day Malachi Church Run and WALK will be held on September 18, 2021 with Honorary Chair, Channel 8’s Kenny Crumpton. The event will feature Mass, 2 and 5 mile run/walk, a Post Race Hooley, and fantastic September temperatures! Although the Run is a fundraiser, it is SO much more! We minister to the needs of the inner city youth by letting hundreds of kids run for free. We are hoping to have a free wheel chair division this year. You never know the ways that God will call you to serve! The Run is a great community builder for the Parish! There are so many ways in which you can be involved that we are striving for 100% participation. You can come to Mass, volunteer, walk 2 miles, cheer on the runners, donate, go to the Hooley, be a sponsor, provide a sponsorship lead to the committee, have your picture taken with Kenny Crumpton and come see the Irish dancers and the bag pipers. There will be no bad weather excuses not to get out and to support those most in need. We believe that the event will be the largest celebration of Irish culture in Cleveland in 2021, so don’t miss out on the fun! Won’t you please help build our Malachi community by participating in OUR biggest fundraiser and party??? We hope to see you in your GREEN glory on September 18th!
You can get more information at our website http://stmalachichurchrun.org/. If you would like to sponsor or volunteer please contact Sharon Lowe-Chapman at runstmalachi@outlook.com or at (440) 666-8699.
Many thanks to those who prayed for the grade 7-10 Girls Bible Study participants during the past 6 weeks. Eight girls completed “Discovering my Purpose.” The praying women arrived at the close of the Study—as a surprise—to show their support for the girls and their moms. Also, many thanks to the parish boys who made delicious treats (!) for the girls to enjoy at the start of each session. As a sign of her delight, one girl asked as she munched on a treat made by an unnamed boy, “Do these boys do home deliveries?” God is good, all the time!
Wherever two or three or more are gathered in prayer (6 feet or many miles apart), let us pray for all of the members of our St. Malachi parish, their intentions, and all of the people on our prayer list at 7PM (Eastern time) on Thursday.
