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

 Ninteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time 

 August 12, 2007 

The CSM Spiritual Development Committee
is bringing us the

‘BEING THE PEOPLE OF GOD’ SERIES

It’s about ministry and answering the baptismal call…what ministry is in the Church, where it comes from, how it calls us, and what we can do. The series comprises seven sessions. Three sessions – Part I – will be held this year, all at 7 p.m. in the hall, on Tuesdays, Aug. 21, Sept. 18 and Oct. 23.

Speakers and topics will be:
Aug. 21, Conrad Gramada, PhD, of Ursuline College, on 
“Rediscovering Our Baptismal Ministry in a Time of Tremendous Transition.”

Sept. 18, Joan Nuth, PhD, of John Carroll University, on 
“The Theology of Grace of Karl Rahner, S.J.. and its Relevance to Vatican II and Ministry.”

Oct. 23, Conrad Gramada, PhD,
“To Whom Shall We Go Today to be Nourished and Strengthened for the Mission Entrusted to Us as Baptized Adults?”

On the Sundays following each speaking event, during the coffee hours following the 9:30 and 11 o’clock Liturgies, discussions will be led about the information provided, how it applies to us, and what we can do. For information call Jackie Bluett, 440-590-0394 or jackierose@aol.com

CSM CONGRATULATIONS to Rosemary Gaffney Etheart, who is featured in the current Cleveland Magazine for her services as a nurse practitioner with the VNA HouseCalls program.

And to Jennifer DeJohn and Kathy Domann, both of whom were featured in the July 27 issue of the Catholic Universe Bulletin, Jen for volunteer service at Blessing House, a crisis childcare home, and Kathy, for her recognition as Volunteer of the Year at Malachi House. Cheers, as well, for Celeste and Rich Grunwald, who celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary last Sunday.

CSM THANKS to Marie James, Nancy Mura, Dale Peters and all the others on their team who made last Sunday’s “All St. Malachi” annual picnic such a pleasant experience. The weather outside was frightful but the event inside was delightful.

Message from Mike Petit, Liturgy Committee Chair:
“Standing after Communion Procession. Some confusion still exists about this question. When do we sit down for the period of silence after the distribution of Communion? We suggest sitting after everyone has received and the remaining hosts have been stored in the tabernacle. The signal is when the ministers are cleaning up the vessels at the credence table near the sacristy entrance. This agrees with the principle that we stand during the Communion Procession.” - M.P.

Message from Joe Pulizzi, Communications Committee Co-Chair:
“CSM respects the fact that many of us get numerous e-mails. We plan on grouping prayer alerts when we get more than one in a day. This will help to consolidate the volume of mailings you receive per day. When a request comes in to the rectory it will be added to any previously received that day and then sent out before the close of the same day. We hope this is convenient to all.” - J.P.
