Scrutinies: What Are They?

by

On the 3rd, 4th, & 5th Sundays in Lent, those preparing for Baptism receive the Rite of Scrutiny. These prayers & blessings are intended to uncover & heal all that is weak, defective, or sinful in the hearts of the Elect (those to be baptized), & to strengthen all that is upright, strong and good. They deliver the Elect from the power of Satan and protect them in Christ Jesus. Let us pray for Tyler Hardtke, Amy Police and Dan Condol in these final weeks, that their hearts are open to the sacramental graces they will receive through Baptism (Tyler), Confirmation and First Eucharist (Tyler, Amy and Dan) as well as all who will be entering the Church at Easter.

This weekend St. Malachi will take up The Catholic Relief Services Collection to help Jesus in disguise. This collection helps six Catholic agencies provide relief and support to struggling communities and works for peace & reconciliation among our marginalized brothers & sisters here and around the world.

Our Lenten Effort: Holy Land Christians

by

This year, we support Christians in the Holy Land, the “living stones” whose population has fallen to less than 2% in the place where Christianity began. Today, only one Catholic school, Holy Family School, remains in Gaza. The Cleveland Holy Land Consortium supports this school. Our Bishop Nelson has encouraged a local effort to stand with the Christians of Gaza at Holy Family School and Parish. Help support families whose communities are largely cut off from the rest of the world. The need is urgent! Offering envelopes are available at the doors of the church for you to use to turn your personal Lenten sacrifices into contributions which will help Catholic children in Gaza make their way to a brighter day. Return Offerings on HOLY THURSDAY or EASTER SUNDAY. For more information contact: Sir Jeffery Abood, jabood@att.net 330-612-7968.

Parish Council Representatives met with Fr. Daniel Schlegel

by

On March 9, Parish Council members met with Fr. Daniel Schlegel, Vicar for Clergy and Religious in the Diocese of Cleveland to discuss concerns of the parish. St. Malachi parish remains a very important parish in the Cleveland diocese, a welcoming place on the near westside serving the marginalized by providing basic needs: clothes, food, shelter, love and hope. With the ongoing support of parishioners, volunteers and donors the mission will continue. During these last four months we have been made to see the parish through a different lens.   The question of diocesan transparency was discussed; Fr. Schlegel explained the process the diocese has regarding a Leave of Absence,  established to protect the privacy of the clergy. Fr. Schlegel welcomed Parish Council members to offer their suggestions as to how handle this process more effectively, and with greater respect for the parish family. We the people of St. Malachi must continue to pray for Fr. Tony, both in our private prayer and in our prayer together as the people of St. Malachi Parish.
