The Union Home Mortgage 2022 Cleveland Marathon is Sunday, May 22, 2022. The roads leading to St. Malachi Church on Sunday, May 22, will be affected by road closures and the runners.
There WILL be access to St. Malachi for Mass. Passes are available at the church doors for anyone coming to the 10:00AM Mass. Show the pass to the traffic guard; however, there will be delays in crossing, depending on the time and number of runners passing by. Avoiding the West Shoreway is recommended. See the route map in this week’s bulletin.
All-loving God, we give you thanks and praise for mothers young and old.
We pray for young mothers, who give life and count toes and tend to our every need; May they be blessed with patience and tenderness to care for their families and themselves with great joy.
We pray for our own mothers who have nurtured and cared for us; May they continue to guide in strong and gentle ways.
We remember mothers who are separated from their children because of war, poverty, or conflict; May they feel the loving embrace of our God who wipes every tear away.
We pray for women who are not mothers but still love and shape us with motherly care and compassion.
We remember mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers who are no longer with us but who live forever in our memory and nourish us with their love. Amen.

Parking is no longer available in the Engineer’s Lot. A wire fence has been constructed around the area by the new owner. We were able to secure parking for weekend Masses from Atwood Industries. The lot is located on Washington Ave. across the street from the church. It is the parking lot shared with Stella Maris adjacent to General Sheave Company. We ask that those who are able to park at Atwood Industries so that our parishioners with mobility issues can park in the parish parking lot. We appreciate your understanding.

Please help. The need for food is great. For too many local families living in poverty, they don’t know even where or how they’ll find their next meal. That’s why YOUR donation to our hunger centers is so important during this matching gift campaign from now through May 8. Please help by making a donation today. No gift is too small. Not only will your contribution be doubled, but every dollar of your gift will feed up to eight people.
Donate at svdpcle.org or mail a check to: St. Vincent de Paul Society Race for Hunger Relief, 1404 E. 9th Street-3rd Floor, Cleveland, OH 44114. Thank You!
