Officially, Thanksgiving Day was last November and Valentine’s Day isn’t

HEARTFELT THANKS
…from me, Mary Englert, for all the love and prayers with which I was
blessed during my recent illness. The “caring” came in so many ways and, for
months, was a constant reminder of what CSM “community” is all about. Among
those to whom I am especially grateful is Pam Pulizzi, who for seven full months
did an outstanding job of producing this newsletter. My own prayer for all of
you is the traditional “God be good to ya!”
…from Kay Vine, representing all of us: “Many thanks to ALL who helped
clean and decorate the church for this past Advent/Christmas season: Jo, Laura
and Roy Krabs; Dennis Stramel; Eddie Combs and two men from St. Malachi Center;
John Karliak; Norm Brignman and “A” Team; Mary Wishnesky, Doug and Kathy
Carpenter; Ann Gill; Rob, Beth, Phillip and Maven Bullock; Dave, Linda, Bryan
and Geoff Kennard; Steve Gresham and Corps; Terry and Chris Jungquist; Mike May;
Frank and Nadge Herceg; Andy McLinden; Lois Dingman; Pat Forkas; Joe Nagel –
and those other angels whose names are known to God. (As one of our motley crew
with one bad hip commented to another member with a bad hip, in the presence of
two with bad knees: “Together we make a whole body and actually get something
done!”) And again, special CSM thanks to Kay Vine, herself, for coordinating
and leading these activities for so many years!
…from the Third Grade Christian Formation Class: “Thank you very much for
bringing candy, cookies and oranges. We were able to make more than 200 St.
Nicholas treats.” (Signed by) Tristan Hils, Quen Galvin, Emily Pellegrino,
Catherine Mohar, Charlotte Link, Attison McCarthy, Kevin Pucci, John Speier,
Kevin Turk.

Message from Rose Horning: “As a follow up to the Advent Series on
Living Peace, yard signs promoting peace and non-violence are now available.
They may be purchased at coffee hour with a donation of $5 per sign. They are
fairly weatherproof and come with a metal bracket. Look for them as you enter
the hall.” - R.H.
Join the conversation: The St. Malachi’s Vine and Branches Gospel
Discussion Forum allows CSM members and St. Malachi parishioners to link to the
Scripture readings for the upcoming Sunday’s Liturgy of the Word and, if so
moved, to 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.
