Minutes of Community of St. Malachi Annual Membership Meeting
|
April 22, 2007
The Annual Meeting of the Membership of the Community of St. Malachi was
called to order by President Jim Connell at 12:25 p.m. Sunday, April 22,
2007. Jerry Sheehan led us in a prayer by Bishop John Reardon. Jim then
thanked the members who had provided breakfast and introduced the current
council members.
Community members standing for election to this year’s council were
presented , namely, Diane Brinich, Christian Formation; Marie James and
Nancy Mura, Hospitality; Mike Petit, Liturgy; Jackie Bluett, Spiritual
Development; Bob Simoneau, Treasurer; Lou Keim, Dale Peters and Jim
Connell, Members at Large; Pam and Joe Pulizzi, Communications,
and Dan Zehe, Membership. The position of Social Action chairperson is
still open. Bruce Wacker questioned as to whether the change in the
number of At Large members would take place this year or next year if changed in
the Charter revisions. Jim stated that this would begin next year. The president
then asked for other nominations for office and as there were none, suggested
that the ballot be passed by acclamation. Joe Mohar moved to that effect;
Cindy DiNardo seconded the motion. The motion passed by voice vote and
the ballot was accepted.
Regarding the Charter changes proposed by the Committee on Charter Revision,
two typo or printing errors were pointed out and corrected. Jim indicated the
significant changes to the Charter which had been proposed. Most were
self-explanatory but Paul Wingenfeld asked for clarification of section
IV-8e – regarding allowing an incapacitated member of the council to
participate in meetings electronically. Jim and Kay Vine offered an
explanation as to how this could be accomplished. Vote was then held on the
Charter Revisions and members of the council were appointed to count the votes.
All Charter Revisions ultimately passed.
Jim then addressed the need for succinct directives as to the Charisms and
Values of CSM. Over the past year, a committee has worked on this and copies of
their proposed directives were made available. Kay Vine moved that the
CSM affirm the directives suggested by the committee. Jerry Sheehan seconded
the motion. Bill Schubmehl stated that he felt it important that the fact
of CSM’s having been established as a non-profit Ohio corporation be included
as part of the Charisms and Values. He so moved to amend and Peter Toomey seconded
the motion. The motion carried by voice vote.
Barb Wingenfeld questioned the word “personal” as regards the
definition of the Community. Fr. Tony explained that this was used as a
canonical term. Was this term redundant in the identification of CSM? Judy
Slivka said that as a new member this had helped her to understand the
Community.
Copies of the Annual Report were distributed. Any Council member may be
contacted with questions. This will be discussed at the next Council meeting May
3, 2007. Jim Connell spoke to the need for all members to participate and
contribute to the life of CSM and quoted Don Cozzens on the need for all
to take part in the ‘discipline and toil of preparation.” An update on the
Clustering process was presented by Jim affirming that the Diocese has approved
our No. 1 Clustering choice. Training for this process will be May 30, 2007 at
Ascension Church, with five representatives from each parish involved.
Mary Englert questioned as to who, exactly, is on the Finance Committee. Bob
Simoneau answered that he was a member as Treasurer; other members include Fr.
Tony Schuerger as pastor, Diane Brinich, Joe Mohar, Ed Shemo and Jim
Connell, ex officio.
Regarding the St. Malachi school building, Jim informed the CSM that
representatives from the Parish Council, Community Council, St. Malachi Center
and Monday Night Meal came together and discussed leasing the St. Malachi school
building to a charter school group, specifically the Leona Group, which would
run it as a K-5 school. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel (West), Metro Catholic, St. Rocco
and Urban Community Schools have been contacted to see if they had any concerns
about the proposal. Helen Misener asked if there were to be more meetings
on this topic and this was answered in the affirmative. Frank Herceg brought
up the question of who receives the income from this property leasing. Jim
stated that it is anticipated that one-half of the proceeds would go to a
Capital Improvement Fund and the other half to an Operating Fund. This is not
yet firm.
Kathy Burke told us that the Sex Abuse Task Force continues to meet. At
this time, three priests from our diocese have been assigned to a time of prayer
and penance. Marie James informed us that the Liturgy Committee will have
a planning meeting this summer and urged all interested to come and share ideas.
The meeting was adjourned at 1:35 p.m. with a reading of the Community
Mission Statement by the entire assembled Community.

The Community of St. Malachi
Task Force on Sexual Abuse
will present a showing of the PBS documentary
“Hand of God”
at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 22, in the hall.
The feature-length film, first aired Jan. 16 on PBS’s Frontline,
is the story of Paul Cultrera, survivor of sexual abuse in the
1960s by a serial pedophile priest in the Boston area.
Kept secret by the victim for decades, the abuse was revealed
in 1994 and subsequently denied and covered up by the
Boston archdiocese.
The documentary’s filmmaker is the victim’s brother,
Joe Cultrera.
The May 22 showing is open and free of admission.
