Offertory Report 

EASTER SUNDAY Thank you for the Easter Vigil/Easter Sunday collection of $6,191. Despite the heavy snow, many people made the trip to celebrate the resurrection of the Lord at St. Malachi. 
What a beautiful witness of Easter faith!

Special Thanks to the many people whose gifts made our Holy Week celebrations so beautiful. 

Marie James baked the loaves of bread used at Eucharist on Holy Thursday. Gary Pritts Sr., Stephanie Pritts, and Alex Gutierrez created the shadow box used for the Good Friday Stations of the Cross; Gary Pritts, Jr, Mike Andreani and Ellen Brinich helped us pray the Stations with their reverent presentation. Our booklets were printed and put together by Kimberly Tatro and Martin Chovanec. Many thanks to the readers, servers, Eucharistic Ministers and musicians and cantors, many of whom had to be recruited at the last minute due to the weather! Special thanks to Kay Vine and her able crew of decorators who never fail to make our church so beautiful.
