“The annual Thanksgiving Dinner sponsored by the Monday Night Meal will be held Monday, Nov. 20. As usual, the sign-up board will be displayed for folks to prepare segments of the meal. A major change this year is that due to a generous contribution from a union, the turkeys will be provided for individuals to cook, slice and bring back to the meal. The uncooked turkeys will be available in the hall from Sunday, Nov. 5 through Monday, Nov. 13. If you cannot arrange for a pickup during these times, please call me, Bill McLaughlin, 440-465-8317.”

The annual Mass of Remembrance for those who have been buried from St. Malachi during the past year will be at 12:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 5. Anyone who can help with serving a luncheon following the Mass for families and friends of the remembered, please call Kay Vine (440-871-5868) or Charlene McElwee (216-781-3110)

There will be a meeting after our 11 o’clock Liturgy this Sunday, Oct. 8, for anyone interested in joining or learning more about the Community of St. Malachi. Meet at the membership table at coffee hour. The meeting will last about 20 minutes. For more details call Rose Horning, 216-228-4234.
