On February 21-24, 2019, Catholic bishops from all over the world are meeting in Rome with Pope Francis to address the clergy sexual abuse crisis, to formulate steps to ensure that such abuse never takes place again, and to ensure transparency in dealing with any allegations of abuse. Join us after all Masses this weekend for a brief update on the Catholic Church and the sexual abuse crisis. Afterwards, there will be a time of prayer for all those affected by this crisis in our Church. God bless us all!

The Ursuline Sisters built new resident apartments for the Ursuline Community and our Sisters have decided to move into them. We will miss our Sisters but wish them many blessings in their new home!
The Ursuline Sisters started teaching at St. Malachi in 1869 (only the girls!). In 1893, when the Christian Brothers left, they were granted permission to teach boys. However, St. Malachi maintained 2 separate schools (boys and girls) until about 1916, when the schools were combined into our current building. In 1968, St. Patrick and St. Malachi Schools merged to become Urban Community School. In 2005, Urban Community School moved to its new location continuing under the direction of the Ursuline Sisters. Thank you Sisters!
