St. Malachi Lenten Appeal, 2016

by Leave a Comment

Refugees-2

Each Lent, St. Malachi has a special appeal to provide support for people in the developing world.  During the last year, millions of people have fled their homes because of war & violence, exploitation and abuse. More people have been displaced than any time since the end of World War II. While media attention has focused on migrants coming into Europe, many more are surviving in refugee camps, dependent on Catholic Relief Services & other relief agencies for their needs.

This Lent you are invited as an individual or family to make Lenten sacrifices, putting aside the money to help those served by Catholic Relief Services.

In addition to this financial appeal, St. Malachi Parish has also committed to serving/mentoring one of the many refugee families who arrive in Cleveland each month.  Those interested in in being a mentor please contact Mary MacNamera at 216-925-2593 or marymac112@hotmail.com.  There is an upcoming training program run by Catholic Charities Office of Migration and Refugee Services.

For more information about the financial appeal, see St. Malachi 2016 Lenten Appeal for more information.  Envelopes are at the church doors, to return on Holy Thursday & Easter.

Sr. Rose Elizabeth and Sr. Martha Owen ask for support for El Salvador Mission at Lenten Potluck

by Leave a Comment

Approximately 75 St. Malachi parishioners enjoyed Huevos Rancheros, and other fare, at the annual Lenten Potluck Brunch on Sunday, 2/22/2015 between the Masses.

During  brunch, our own St. Martha Owen, OSU and Sr. Rose Elizabeth, OSU, presented Reverse Mission:  Celebrating 50 years in El Salvador.   Sr. Rose Elizabeth recently returned after serving for several years in El Salvador.

Sr. Rose explained that while the government provides shoes to pre-school and elementary children, there is no government support for middle school and high school students.  At her suggestion, half of the funds we collect will be used to purchase shoes for the middle/high school students.  For every $30 collected one pair of shoes can be purchased.  Clean and well-fitting shoes not only provide important protection for the feet, but also are a source of self-esteem.

The second significant need is for dry shelter.  There are two seasons in El Salvador — the 6 month rainy season and the 6 month dry season.  Since most houses have dirt floors, when a roof leaks, the family lives in mud for 6 months.  Since homes are small, a corrugated metal roof can be provided for about $100.  For a family’s comfort, this is a high priority.

Consequently, our theme for this year is Help from Top to Bottom:  Roofs and Shoes in El Salvador.

Sr. Martha Owen, OSU

Sr. Martha Owen, OSU, another veteran of the mission, spoke of the faith of the people in El Salvador and how they inspired her in her faith.

For those who were unable to attend, an inspirational videos are available about the El Salvador mission, and can be viewed online.  See our post which includes links to these videos.

Small cardboard boxes are available at the doors of the church which can be used to make this almsgiving a family project.  $30 will make a difference for 1 child for an entire year.  Since most families have between 4 and 6 children (plus mother and father), a gift of $100 will provide comfort for 6 to 8 people for the entire rainy season.
