CONGRATULATIONS!
Congratulations to Fr. Joseph D. McNulty, pastor of St. Augustine Church and the Director of the Office of Ministry to Persons with Disabilities, who received the Archbishop Edward F. Hoban Award last Sunday, November 18, for his distinguished service to the Diocese of Cleveland, and especially for his many years of ministry to persons with physical and mental disabilities. The Archbishop Hoban Award is the highest honor given by the Diocese to individuals or organizations.
Congratulations also to Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, a priest of the Diocese of Cleveland, who Pope Benedict just named the Archbishop for Military Services.

PRAYER REQUESTS
It is our privilege always to pray for others. At St. Malachi, we have set up
an e-mail prayer request network for the families of members and former members of the Parish and Community. In response to a number of requests and questions, please keep in mind the following policies:
Requests for prayers must come from the individual, the family or a designated family spokesperson. This is necessary to protect the privacy rights of the individuals. This is a matter of respect for human dignity, but also, potentially, a matter of federal law regarding the confidentiality of medical information. We do request that a family spokesperson verify that the person or persons mentioned do know and wish their name(s) published. We honor confidentiality.
Prayer requests must be phoned, e-mailed or sent to the rectory office. Centralizing where the requests are made makes it easier for everyone, as the
e-mail alerts the pastoral staff is there is an immediate need.
The “family” members for whom we are invited to pray is interpreted broadly. It is not only for members of the immediate family, i.e. we never wish to not include cousins, uncles, aunts, etc.
We want to invite people to pray for members of our St. Malachi “family” who are in need of prayer support, strengthening our personal connection and unity with each other in prayer. The e-mail address for the Rectory is:
malachirectory@catholic.org, 216-861-5343.
