Special prayers too, of course, for the countless victims of Hurricane Katrina, as well as others throughout the world suffering because of the last tsunami, other natural disasters and Third World AIDS epidemics.

DAY OF RECOLLECTION FOR ALL LITURGICAL MINISTERS

Message from Mike Petit and Cindy DiNardo:

‘We are inviting all liturgical ministers of the Community of St. Malachi and St. Malachi Parish (lectors, servers, Eucharistic ministers, musicians, planners, sacristans, ushers, hospitality, etc.) to a short afternoon of reflection from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8. (Says Mike: ‘Please note that this probably conflicts with a zillion other events such as the Breast Cancer Walk.’) The location is the River’s Edge (Founders’ Room), Sisters of St. Joseph, 3430 Rocky River Dr., Cleveland. Fr. Joe Fortuna, pastor of Ascension Parish, will give a talk on liturgical spirituality. We will have an opportunity to pray the Hours and personally reflect on the significance of our particular ministries. If you are serving in any St. Malachi liturgical ministry, please try to take this opportunity. This is the first time in recent years that we have sponsored such an event. We would like to know how many people are coming so we would appreciate an RSVP.
