Today is the annual appeal for the Retirement Fund for Religious. This fund supports women and men from religious communities who have served God's people in ministry, are now retired, and whose communities lack the funds they need to provide for them in their retirement. There will be a second collection at all the Masses.

JOIN “LAS POSADAS” - AN ADVENT TRADITION!
JOIN “LAS POSADAS” - AN ADVENT TRADITION!
Many years ago, St. Malachi Center
adapted the Mexican tradition of Las Posadas, the remembrance of the Holy Family's search for a room at the inn. The celebration includes active involvement in procession, prayer and song around the grounds of St. Malachi. After the procession, there is a light meal by St. Malachi volunteers and Center
participants. This year's event is Saturday, December 17 from 5:15 to about 7:30 pm. All are invited to come! A sign up sheet is at 9:30 & 11:00 Coffee Hours or please call St. Malachi Center, (216) 771-3036.
CENTERING PRAYER
Centering prayer is an ongoing program at St. Joseph Christian Life Center
that meets Sunday evenings from 7 - 8:30 pm. We seek to share the practice of centering prayer and support one another in a contemplative life style. We center in silence and share in Lectio Divina (contemplative reading of Scripture) or read about the discipline of quieting thoughts and feelings in order to experience the presence of God as taught by Thomas Keating. Simply put, Centering Prayer builds relationship with God. "Please…come and see”.
