Pumpkin bread and Banana bread are $6.50 each for a 2 lb loaf.  We are accepting pre-orders only.  You may pick up your order after the 11:00 a.m. mass on November 21st.  Order early as only a limited number of loaves will be sold.  Call Judy or Terri Slivka at (216) 749-1513 or email Bjudys@aol.com.

MESSAGE FROM BILL JOHANSEN: The CSM Council is currently looking for someone to fulfill the role of Membership Chair. If you are interested or know of anyone interested, please contact Bill Johansen at 440-353-0606. This committee plays a vital role in welcoming new members and helping them adjust and orient to our great community.

Join the conversation...The St. Malachi’s Vine and Branches Gospel Discussion Forum allows community members and parishioners to link to the Readings for the upcoming Sunday’s Liturgy of the Word and, if so moved, post a reflection. In addition to spiritual preparation for Sunday’s Liturgy, the forum provides a format for deepening our understanding of God’s Word and Its impact in our lives through shared reflection. Visit the forum at www.stmalachi.org/parish/forum. Anyone wishing to have the forum electronically delivered each week please send an email to vineandbranchesforum@hotmail.com using the words “add forum” in the subject line.
