It’s nearly a week away but…

As our beloved CSM founder, the late Gen McCloskey, used to say: “…to all who are Irish, all who today wish they were Irish, and all who are thankful they are not!”

  to a couple of significant birthday celebrants this week: Ronnie Tricsko, who for many years has overseen the rectory kitchen pandemonium, and Kay Vine, who for so many years has so generously involved herself in so many leadership and other St. Malachi volunteer roles. (And in a far from so-so manner.) Happy Birthdays and thanks to them both!

“Fr. J. Glenn Murray, head of the diocesan Liturgy Commission, is offering a liturgical workshop 7-9 p.m. Tuesday, Mar. 20, at Holy Martyrs Parish in Medina and 7-9 p.m. Wednesday, Mar. 21, at St. Ann Parish in Cleveland Heights. It is titled ‘You Satisfy the Hungry Heart: Engaging the Liturgical Assembly at Holy Communion.’ He promises to ‘plumb the theological and pastoral meaning of Holy Communion as well as demonstrate ways in which all may be engaged in this Rite through music, posture and prayer..’ This is this dynamic speaker’s last hurrah in Cleveland and a good opportunity to participate in a lively session. If you wish to attend you can call the diocese at 216-696-6525, X 3630, or 800-869-6525, X3630, and leave a message if you get voice mail indicating how many will attend. Or call me at 440-884-9309 and I will contact the diocese. There will be a free will offering; suggested amount is $5.” - M.P.

“Special thanks to all those wonderful volunteers who make the Coffee Hour possible. Regardless of the weather – rain or snow – the doughnuts are always picked up. And a great job is always being done by all the volunteers who ‘work’ the hour. They all certainly deserve our thanks:” - M.P.

1. “Join us Praying with the Stations, using Maryknoll Stations of the Cross, this Friday and all Fridays during Lent. The time is 6-7 p.m., in the church.. Says Jan Leitch: ‘Each Friday we will journey along two stations with meditations, prayer and shared reflection. The Maryknoll Stations offere a social justice point of view. Join us any or all Fridays.’ Information: Jan Leitch, 216-521-6376, or see the flyers in church. Praying with the Stations is supported by the CSM Liturgy, Social Action and Spiritual Development committees.” -

Religions of the World: Focus on Judaism and Islam

2. “Confused about what Islam teaches? What the differences are between Sunnis and Shiites? Wondering how the Judaism of Jesus’ day connects with Judaism today? Fr. Joseph Hilinski, Interfaith Director for the Diocese of Cleveland, is presenting a program, Religions of the World: Focus on Judaism and Islam. The next session, Judaism , Part II, is from 7-9 p.m. this coming Tuesday, Mar. 13, in St. Malachi Center. Dates for the sessions about Islam are Mar. 20 and Mar. 27. For more information, see the flyers in church.” - J.B.
