Community of Saint Malachi

First Personal Parish of the Diocese of Cleveland
Celebrating 25 Years of Faith in God and in the Future

Community of St. Malachi Mission Statement

      Jesus Christ has called us together as a Catholic, Christian Community in this particular place. Through Scripture, Christ has given us:

          A pattern for our salvation,
          A living witness of God’s love for us.

      Our mission, therefore is:

      To worship God and celebrate Eucharist together,
      To love others the way we are loved by god,
      To take time to comfort God’s people,
      To provide refuge,
      To heal,
      To console,
      To give hope.

      As a pilgrim church continuing the Presence of Christ:

          We RECOGNIZE the need to nurture our own personal and spiritual growth,

          We DESIRE to take more seriously the impact of the Gospel on our world,

          We COMMIT to becoming stronger witnesses to the love of God in Jesus, who is our hope.
