For this, she merits the deepest gratitude of us all! Which she most certainly has! But now, she finds she must pass on this valuable service to another/others, beginning very soon.

Work on Steps of Original Church (From St. Malachi Parish Bulletin – May 3-4, 2003) Work to remove the steps of the old church continues and will
last several weeks. St. Malachi recently received a significant bequest from a
will. The Finance Council recommended to use the funds to finish the project
now, rather than add cost to complete the work later. The workers have uncovered
the foundation wall of the old church, which will be preserved and kept visible
when the project is completed.
for CONGRATULATIONS, FELICITATIONS, KUDOS…WHATEVER! To Stephanie Dumbrys and Bruce Banfield, who married recently here at St. Malachi. To John Rednour, who was baptized and fully initiated into the Church during the Easter Vigil Liturgy. To Sr. Michael Marie Griffin, long associated with St. Malachi ministries, who last weekend celebrated her golden jubilee as an Ursuline Sister. And to Sr. Lucy Dragonette, whose 70th year as a Sister of St. Joseph will be celebrated next weekend at St. Colman Parish (where she and Sr. Carol English CSJ were the first women installed as pastoral administrators in the Cleveland diocese. The two continue to serve there as pastoral associates.) To Joe and Pam Pulizzi upon the birth Apr. 26 of Adam James Pulizzi. To the St. Malachi youngsters who celebrated their first Eucharist last Sunday: Alyia Marie Taylor-Ayers, Christopher Brinich, Christian Higgins Chapman, Cade Bryan Coulter, John Alexander Derethik, Lucy Marie Diaz, Lauren Starre Guido, Martin Terrence Hartsel, Jessie A. Long, Victoria Marie Mohar, Jeremy Pellegrino, Peter Ryan Quigley, Cheyanne C. Rednour, Regina Russo, Elliot Francis Smith, and Thomas Wingenfeld. To Rachel Schiros, whose accomplishment is described by her parents, Virginia and Frank Schiros: “Academic talent combined with commitment often leads to opportunity. Our daughter Rachel, a lifelong member of the Community of St. Malachi, has been informed that she has been declared a National Merit Scholarship finalist. Although 1,300,000 students took the test, this scholarship honor was awarded to the top 8,000 P-SAT scorers in the U.S. In addition to this recognition, she has been awarded a $10,000 scholarship through Kiwanis, plus additional financial awards through Rotary and the LHS Alumni Foundation. Her parents pray that God blesses her journey as she prepares for college at the University of Notre Dame this fall.” A CSM WELCOME to Stefan Oslovic, a seminarian from Slovakia who is in the U.S. as part of his pastoral training. For a couple of months he will experience parish life and ministry at St. Malachi. And Last but Certainly Not Least… HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! …to all mothers -- natural, adoptive and foster, and in those same categories, grandmothers, great-grandmothers, aunts and aunts grand and great, big sisters, godmothers, sacramental and other sponsors, teachers and other mentors -- loving surrogate moms of every kind.
Message from LORETTA MOHAR: (Loretta, a CSM member from the very beginning, and herself the mother of 11, suggests that the following poem by Walt Whitman has special meaning for many families this Mother’s Day, in this time of warfare. It surely has for her because, as in the poem, her own mother received a letter from Loretta’s teenage brother written shortly before his death in France in WWII.)
