ST MALACHI USES FAIR EXCHANGE COFFEE
We are now using organic “Fair Exchange” Coffee at Coffee Hour each week; this coffee is available in several flavors at Malachi Mart. It is called “fair exchange” coffee because it comes from a coffee-growers cooperative which means that the farmers receive a better price for their crop, enabling them to support their families. Although it is more expensive, it is more just for those who produce the coffee we drink. It is also richer, so you use less.

So many challenges face veterans and their families. It will be an evening to join with other men and women veterans to pray and share.

Bring some friends to join with others in mutual support of one another. This evening of remembrance for those who have served will begin at 6:30pm with light refreshments. It will end by 8:30. The cost is only $10 per person. The Jesuit Retreat House is located at 5629 State Road in Parma, just south of the I-480 State Road exit.
