Help Needed – Martha’s Ministry

by Leave a Comment

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

Catholic Relief Services Collection

by Leave a Comment

This weekend is the Catholic Relief Services Collection.  This is your opportunity to improve the lives of the most vulnerable people around the world and here in the United States. Your support funds organizations that aid travelers, people affected by war and natural disasters, others whose work or unique cultural circumstances require special pastoral support, and migrants and refugees displaced by conflict,  persecution, or political instability. Please be generous.

 

Heart of the Shepard Campaign Enjoys Great Success

by Leave a Comment

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.

Final Prayer Packet for Discernment 

by

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. 

 

Baptismal Font is Being Refurbished, 2023

Many of you may have noticed that the baptismal font is not on the altar.   Pat ( former MNM coordinator) and Kathy Dowd,  have donated the funds to repair and paint the baptismal font.

The font will return by Easter.  Thank you Pat and Kathy for your generous donation!  St, Malachi is truly blessed.
