BAPTISM OF THE LORD -- ORDINARY TIME
The Feast of the Baptism of the Lord is the final feast of the Christmas season and marks the beginning of Ordinary Time, with the First Week of Ordinary Time beginning on Monday. The Church is using the “A” Cycle of Sunday readings & the “Year 2” Cycle of weekday readings.

A CALL TO PLAN FOR LENT!
The period of Ordinary Time before Lent is very short this year; February 6 is Ash Wednesday! There is a VERY important meeting this Tuesday at 7 PM to plan for the season of Lent at St. Malachi. Whatever your interest may be -- liturgy, social action, spiritual growth, almsgiving -- your input is important! Please come!

CHURCH DECORATING -- YOUR HELP IS NEEDED
This Sunday your help and service is needed as we un-decorate the church after the 12:30 PM Mass.

Join our dedicated walkers this Wednesday, January 16 at 7:15pm in St. Malachi's parking lot to participate in the 5th anniversary peace walk to Public Square. This is not a war protest, but prayers for peace and nonviolence in our cities and the rest of the world. Carol Anderson (440) 779-1058. 

Soup for the Soul
Please join us at our annual Soup for the Soul fundraiser on Thursday March 13, 2008 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel on St. Clair in downtown Cleveland. Our goal is to raise $60,000 this year to help us help others. This year promises to be the best ever, with 20+ restaurants donating their favorite and most scrumptious soups. Also featured: appealing appetizers, sensational celebrity servers, amazing auctions, rousing raffles -- and YOU! 
Individual tickets are $60 until March 1, which includes 5 tickets for raffle items. Besides ticket registration, there are 3 ways to participate: 

• 1) Corporate sponsorships; the earlier the commitment, the earlier we can put your company logo on all our material so others can know you too are part of this worthy cause and celebration. 

• 2) purchasing an ad for the program booklet for as little as $50. Please see the attached explanation.

• 3) donate auction and raffle items of distinction to help make Soup for the Soul 2008 an experience to remember. 

To register for tickets or learn more about any of these opportunities, visit the Center website at www.stmalachicenter.org or call Ginny Suhr at (216) 771-3036.
