SAMARITAN MINISTRY WORKSHOP
St. Malachi will offer the Samaritan Ministry workshop on Alcoholism & Addiction beginning this Thursday, March 27, and continuing on April 3, 10 & 17, from 6-8:30 PM at St. Malachi Center. The purpose of Samaritan Ministry is to provide participants with tools to help individuals & their families with substance abuse issues. See the brochures at the church, rectory & Center. Call Lori Zehe at (440) 888-4947 or fill out & return the registration form.
LIVING WATER -- WATER FOR LIVING
In John's Gospel, Jesus offers the woman at the well “living water.“ In our world today, one out of every five people do not have access to clean water; two of every five people do not have access to basic sanitation, leading to 5,000,000 deaths a year. This year, the people of St. Malachi are invited to offer Lenten sacrifices & give the money saved to support the work of Water 1st
International, which works with local communities in Bangladesh, Honduras, India & Ethiopia to provide locally built & run water systems. If you have not already done so, please return your gift in the collection at Easter Sunday Mass or next Sunday.
CELEBRATION OF SERVICE
This year's Celebration of Service to honor all St. Malachi volunteers & those who serve in any church ministry will be held on Saturday, April 19, at Noon in the hall. Return the bottom of the flyer (found in back of church) or use the sign up sheets located in the kitchens to respond by April 14. For information/RSVP (216) 861-5343.

 Then the angel said to the women in reply, "Do not be afraid! I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified. He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples, 'He has been raised from the dead, and he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him.' Behold, I have told you."
- Mt 28:5-7
