Friends in Christ,
Please listen/watch the Gospel, the Passion of Jesus Christ According to Matthew.
Communion Chalice is Returning to Mass on Holy Thursday
In November, Bishop Malesic lifted the ban for using communion chalices due to pandemic-related protocols. After consulting with our Liturgy Commission, Parish Council and staff members, we will be reinstating the use of the chalices commencing with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on April 6. We will then anticipate the distribution of Holy Communion under both species (Eucharistic bread and wine) for those who wish to receive the Sacred Host and Precious Blood, provided that there is a sufficient number Eucharistic Ministers available for the chalices at each weekend Mass. Beginning this weekend, we will be placing “straw poll ballots” at the church entrances asking parishioners to indicate their inclination toward receiving from the Communion chalice. The poll is only intended to help us prepare for the proper quantity of wine needed for each weekend liturgy. Your choice is not personally binding as you may change your mind at any time.
Help Needed – Martha’s Ministry
Martha’s Ministry could use some help to catch up with the cleaning of our church since it was beautifully painted. We meet each Tuesday at 10AM and end at about 11:30AM when it is about time to set up for Mass. We do the lighter tasks: dusting, vacuuming and straightening up. Although the painters cleaned up, we still have dust which needs to be swept and mopped. We have been working at it and would like to complete it by Easter. If you have time to help, the north side door is open. Any questions, please call Charlene at the rectory or Chris Dusek, 216 375-6054

Please be generous.
Heart of the Shepard Campaign Enjoys Great Success
More than $52 million was raised by 13,520 donors. (Totals include a $3 million commitment by the Diocese of Cleveland.) In addition to supporting the seminary renovation, priest pension retirement fund, and education debt relief for newly ordained clergy, this campaign includes a share going back to parishes for local projects. $12.9 million has already been distributed to parishes. The Heart of a Shepherd campaign was a tremendous success as a result of the generosity of donors. The campaign faced challenges due to COVID and the resultant mandated suspension of public Masses. It was amazing that we raised so much money during a pandemic. Thanks to Patrick Grace’s leadership and organization, the Catholic Community Foundation’s efforts, and all those who worked on the campaign.

Proposals for St. Malachi’s Future 3/18-19/2023
Please attend one of the sessions after the March 18/19 weekend Masses to learn about the Proposed Recommendations for Our Future. Parish Council’s discernment retreat resulted in the development of two proposed recommendations for St Malachi’s Future that will be sent to Bishop Malesic.
Join us in hall after each mass for your opportunity to learn about the proposals and to ask questions. The March 19th session will be live streamed.

Final Prayer Packet for Discernment
Parish Council invites St Malachi members to do personal prayer with us for 8 weeks to prepare us for discernment. Prayer materials can be found on the St. Malachi Google Drive. This is a beautiful opportunity to be closer to God. All the prayers do not have to be completed. If you find something that moves you toward God, you can stay with it as long as you want. If you skip or forget prayer sometime during the week, don’t give up– pray next time. After all, we skip meals once in a while, but we don’t stop eating!
Thank you for being on the prayer journey! This week we immerse with Jesus, after his resurrection, inviting us to eat with Him on the shore. There will be NO prayer Zoom. Sunday evening. Please pray for Council as we discern the best options for our future on Saturday, Feb 25th.
Save the Date for Spring Into Action!, 2023
Please join us on Saturday morning, April 22, 2023. St. Ignatius High School Students and Adults will assist St. Malachi Parishioners in a HUGE clean up of our campus.
Mark your calendars! More to follow!
