Council Members At-Large:

Council members and committee chairs whose terms concluded with the June 7, 2005 council meeting:

“Attention all CSM Members! Today is the last day to get your commitment forms in and be included on our main roster. Forms are available at coffee hour after our 11 o’clock Liturgy today, or from Pam Pulizzi by e-mail at pam_pulizzi@yahoo.com. Please be sure to get them in so you will be included on this year’s roster. If you are reading this after June 26, please still return a commitment form and you will be included in a supplementary list. Contact me with any questions. 216-941-5054. Thanks.” P.P.

“Today (June 19) it is two months that I have been at St. Malachi. For me it has been a wonderful time to acquire a lot of experience of pastoral life. I have been meeting with people who live their faith. Now is the time to say a big ‘Thank You.’ Thank you for your hospitality, generosity, friendship, encouragement and for showing me a real parish’s community life. I felt very much at home here. My gratitude belongs also to Fr. Tony, who was for me an example of life with Christ. I know that a parish is made from people who live there. And you are a good example of what a parish should be. May God bless you, your families and the Community of St. Malachi.” – M.T.
