JANUARY 1: SOLEMNITY OF MARY, THE MOTHER OF GOD & WORLD DAY OF PRAYER FOR PEACE
January 1 is the Solemn Feast of Mary as Mother of God and the World Day of Prayer for Peace.

St. Malachi will have a 4:30 Mass on New Year's Eve and a 10 AM Mass on New Year's Day. Please note that there will be a 4:30 PM Vigil Mass on New Year's Day for the Feast of the Epiphany (Sunday, January 2).

For 83 years, the Poor Clare Nuns have adored the Eucharist and prayed night & day without ceasing. Do you need prayer today? Are your loved ones, co-workers or neighbor in need of God's loving guidance? Call the Poor Clares' Prayer line (216-361-0783) and leave your intentions with the Sisters, confident you will receive a blessing from the Lord!.

they found him in the temple
... but not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem to look for him. After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions, and all who heard him were astounded at his understanding and his answers.
