  The Community of St. Malachi – First Personal Parish of the Diocese of Cleveland
Celebrating Faith in God and in the Future! 

Feast of the Most Holy Trinity 

May 22, 2005

HEAD FOR THE HALL!

There are two issues:

1. The recommendations of the Finance Council, which have been accepted by the Community Council, to redefine the formula for the “fair share” of expenses which the CSM pays at St. Malachi and

2. An opportunity for feedback on the 2005-2006 CSM budget.

Copies of the recommendations and proposed budget were distributed last Sunday and still are available. (There’s an old saying, “Money Talks.” It’s our money. So let’s all talk about it. Or at least, hear and think about it.)
