A Tenebrae Service of Shadows and Light will be held Monday, April 3 at 7PM here at St. Malachi Church. Tenebrae is a Holy Week devotion which dates back to the 7th or 8th century & is characterized by scripture, hymns and the successive extinguishing of candles as the service progresses. This beautiful prayer has become a longstanding collaboration of the Catholic churches of our Central West District.
ATTENTION ALL PARISHIONERS! It’s time to get ready for our St. Malachi Run! The date is Saturday, March 11, 2023! We need HELP on the day of the Run and during the WEEK BEFORE for Packet Pick-ups!

Wherever two or three or more are gathered in prayer (6 feet or many miles apart), let us pray for all of the members of our St. Malachi parish, their intentions, and all of the people on our prayer list at 7:00 PM on Thursday.
Come experience the beauty, stillness and joy of praying in the style of Taizé. This prayer style is characterized by repeated “song prayers”, candlelight, a reading or two, intercessory prayer and deep silence. This month we celebrate Advent and honor Mary, our mother, on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Plan to come this Wednesday evening, December 8 at 7:00 PM. Enter through either side door. For more information call Charlene at the rectory.
The parish’s biggest fundraiser, the Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day Malachi Church Run and WALK will be held on September 18, 2021 with Honorary Chair, Channel 8’s Kenny Crumpton. The event will feature Mass, 2 and 5 mile run/walk, a Post Race Hooley, and fantastic September temperatures! Although the Run is a fundraiser, it is SO much more! We minister to the needs of the inner city youth by letting hundreds of kids run for free. We are hoping to have a free wheel chair division this year. You never know the ways that God will call you to serve! The Run is a great community builder for the Parish! There are so many ways in which you can be involved that we are striving for 100% participation. You can come to Mass, volunteer, walk 2 miles, cheer on the runners, donate, go to the Hooley, be a sponsor, provide a sponsorship lead to the committee, have your picture taken with Kenny Crumpton and come see the Irish dancers and the bag pipers. There will be no bad weather excuses not to get out and to support those most in need. We believe that the event will be the largest celebration of Irish culture in Cleveland in 2021, so don’t miss out on the fun! Won’t you please help build our Malachi community by participating in OUR biggest fundraiser and party??? We hope to see you in your GREEN glory on September 18th!
You can get more information at our website http://stmalachichurchrun.org/. If you would like to sponsor or volunteer please contact Sharon Lowe-Chapman at runstmalachi@outlook.com or at (440) 666-8699.
