CSM CONGRATULATIONS to Steve and Rosemarie DeJohn, who have welcomed into their family their first grandchild, Rocco.

(The best way to introduce him is his way. Following is the introduction he gave at St. Malachi Liturgies last Sunday, the text of which he provided for the CSM Newsletter upon request.)

“My name is Ed Suszynski, Jr. I am from St. Bede Parish and am in my third year of theology at St. Mary Seminary, which as most of you know from years and seminarians past, is the internship year. Last Sunday, six classmates and I moved into our respective internship parishes and took another step towards priesthood. I consider it to be an honor and blessing to be at St. Malachi this year as a seminarian intern and I will be with you through mid-April.

“Now, a few words about myself. I am 24 years old and my birthday is Oct. 15. I come from a family of five, of which I am the oldest of three children. My sister Cheryl will be graduating from John Carroll in the spring with a degree in psychology and my brother Joe will complete his auto mechanic certification later this year at Tri-C. My parents, Ed and Debby, have been married for 27 years.

“I graduated from Mentor High School in 1999. Later that year I entered Borromeo Seminary and John Carroll University, graduating four years later, in May 2003, with a bachelor’s degree in philosophy, a minor in history, and a concentration in Catholic Studies.

“Since entering the seminary I have been blessed with many opportunities to learn and grow, both here at home and abroad. Some of my journeys abroad have taken me to Rome and Assisi, El Salvador, Montreal and London, and during the summer of 2004 I was on a five-week mission trip to Uganda and Kenya.

“When I am not involved in seminary or church related activities, I am most likely involved in my main hobby, which is music. I enjoy listening to music of all kinds, singing, going to orchestra concerts, operas and Broadway musicals, and trying my hand as a composer and lyricist.

“In conclusion, not only am I looking forward to meeting all of you after Mass but also I am excited and eager to work and journey with all of you and to learn and grow in my understanding of parish life, ministry and what it means to be a priest. Lastly, please know that I will be praying for all of you and I simply ask for your prayers in return. Have a good evening – good day and peace be with you.” - E.S.

“Thank you to the office volunteers who are helping us at St. Malachi Center. We appreciate your support. We also have need for more Reading Buddies. It is a 1-1 ½ hours commitment weekly to assist one or two students to improve reading skills. The hours are either 3-4 or 4-5 Tuesday through Friday. We do have 15 wonderfully committed Reading Buddies, some whom even commit to two hours per week. Our goal is to have no more than two students per Reading Buddy and help all students in kindergarten and all students who need reading improvement through the fourth grade. With nine registered kindergarteners and 45 registered students from one to fourth grade, we still have need for more Buddies. If you are interested, please call me, Jackie Bluett, from Tuesday through Friday, at the center, 216-771-3036, Ext. 15.” -

“Hello S.M.A.R.T. Parents (St. Malachi Adults Raising Tots, Tweens, Teens…) We are planning a DEAR (Drop Everything and {bike] Ride) Day . On Sunday, Oct. 16, we are planning a bike outing on the Towpath Trail through the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. We will gather at approximately 1:15 p.m. at the Canal Visitor Center, 7104 Canal Rd., at the corner of Hillside Drive in Valley View. We will enjoy a brown bag picnic (bring your own) and then begin bike riding at about 2 p.m. From the visitor center, Brecksville Station is less than five miles and Peninsula is about 20, so there is something for everyone. Please feel free to join us for lunch, biking or both.” - M.P. – 216-351-8553.
