Message from Barb Parkowski:
Thanks to the numerous volunteers who have beem assisting Jean
DeChant in getting to University Hospitals for dialysis! We are in need of more
volunteers to drive her on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays – either to pick her up
at 6:45 a.m. in North Olmsted and drive her to the hospital, or pick her up at 12:30 p.m.
at University Hospital and return her to her home in North Olmsted. If you are unable to
drive, please consider helping in another way, such as spending time with Jean at her home
on Monday, Wednesday or Friday afternoons. Please call me at 440-734-5822. God bless you
all. –BP
MALACHI MART EXTENDS SUNDAY HOURS
"For the past several months, we at Malachi Mart have been aware of
the difficult decision CSM members must make after the 11 o’clock Liturgy –
either participate in the Coffee Hour or shop at the Mart. So the decision has been made
to the Mart to stay open on Sundays until 1:30 p.m., for a trial period of three months. Now you can enjoy the donut, bagel,
coffee, juice, friendship and community of the Coffee Hour and still take advantage of our
great bargains! See you there!"
-- Bonnie Mar, Manager
Message from Rebecca Rocco:
(She passes along this message, in part, received as president of the
CSM Council from Frank Zuik, program director, and Fr. Mark DiNardo, board
chair of Near West Food and Family Service Center)
"St. Malachi’s has been an outstanding supporter of our Center
through the years.
Thanks a million for that support!"

Mighty THANKS to Paul Kunkel, onetime editor of this CSM
Newsletter, who graciously filled in for the present editor in putting together our Dec. 5
issue. He kept his agreement to do this despite a relatively unexpected turn, the death of
his father that very week. Also, because some CSM members have requested it, Communio is
carrying today Lou Schroeder’s Dec. 4 Mass of the Resurrection homily, by Fr.
Paul Hritz, and reflection/eulogy by Mary Englert.
