  The Community of St. Malachi – First Personal Parish of the Diocese of Cleveland
Celebrating Faith in God and in the Future! 

 Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi) 

 June 10, 2007 

The May 28 letter to the CSM from Bishop Richard Lennon was distributed at our
11 o’clock Liturgy last Sunday, June 3. Copies are still available. Our cluster includes the CSM, St. Malachi Parish, St. Patrick (Bridge) Parish, and St. Wendelin Parish. The call is for this number to be reduced to two within the next three years.
The CSM Cluster Planning and Coordination Team (CPCT) is comprised of
Jim Connell and Kay Vine, council president and vice president, Fr. Tony Schuerger, pastor;
Bob Simoneau, treasurer, and Karen Duffy, religious education director.
Fr. Jerry Lajack, from St. Wendelin, is our district delegate.

A Couple of Notable Upcoming
Events involving “Our Fathers…”

In his homily last Sunday, Fr. Tony focused on the anniversary celebrations of
Sr. Francis Borgia and several other Ursuline Sisters, and on the wedding jubilees
that prevail this season but, not surprisingly, he never mentioned his own significant anniversary
He was ordained to the priesthood June 11, 1977.

Ad Multos Annos, Fr. T !!

And in Anticipation of
Nest Sunday, June 17…

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY…

…to all Fathers – biological, adoptive and foster, and in those same categories
to grandfathers, great-grandfathers, uncles and uncles great and grand,
big brothers, godfathers, sacramental and other sponsors,
teachers and other mentors,
loving surrogate dads of every kind.

In the Community of St. Malachi, we’re blessed in having every kind!
