Stewardship Moments: Feast of the Baptism of the Lord
Saint Matthew’s story of the baptism of Jesus is an appropriate scripture reading to reflect on our own baptism. Jesus’ baptism has been understood as a symbol of his death. Baptism is the sacrament by which we die to an old life of sin and enter a new life of grace. We “put on Christ.” To be a good steward of one’s baptism means to accept that one has new life in the risen Lord and is willing to be guided by the life of Jesus. As this year begins to unfold, reflect on the meaning of your own baptism, and how you might make an even deeper commitment to a new life in Christ Jesus.
Attention all Engaged Couples Regarding Prepare and Enrich
As we realign some aspects of marriage preparation at Ss. Malachi and Patrick, all engaged couples who still need to take the Prepare and Enrich On-line assessment are asked to contact Deacon Leo Bistak to make arrangements at leot.bistak@gmail.com, or (216) 861-5343, anytime after your wedding date has officially been set with either parish. If you have any questions, please contact Fr. Gurnick or the Pastoral Staff member working with you.
Many Thanks for a Beautiful Christmas!
Special thanks to all who have made our Christmas celebrations so beautiful: staff, cleaners, decorators, musicians, cantors & choir members, liturgical ministers, sacristans & faith-filled people. How beautiful!
Creation Care-Recycling, January 2020
Did you know that the world of recycling has changed and currently some plastic containers are not recyclable? Here is some information and a few tips:
Info: All empty plastic bottles or jugs can be recycled. However, if it is not shaped like a bottle or jug, with an opening or a neck that’s narrower than the body, place it in the regular trash. (The numbers on plastic containers are codes used by the plastics industry to identify the type of chemicals used to make the container. The codes no longer determine if an item is recyclable.
TIP 1: Recycle bottles or jugs like water and soda bottles, shampoo bottles, milk, water, laundry detergent, etc. They should be rinsed, emptied, and the cap should be replaced. Continue to recycle cans, cartons, glass, paper and cardboard.
TIP 2: Never recycle Styrofoam and avoid using Syrofoam as much as possible. Styrofoam is plastic inflated with air, and it breaks into tiny pieces during the sorting process and in landfills.
Clothing Ministry Guidelines
We are grateful to all who donate clothing and household goods to St. Malachi to help those less fortunate. However, due to our limited space, we must have some rules on donations. St. Malachi Clothing Ministry Guidelines have been developed & are posted on the St. Malachi website. The Guidelines encourage the following for donations:
- A limit of 6 bags or boxes of donations per donation source, unless pre-arranged with a member of the Malachi Center, St. Malachi Church staff or clothing ministry volunteers (Pat Daw 216-338-5260 or Mary Carol or John Lucic 216-221-5017).
- A request that 75% of donations be for men, seasonal, clean, lightly-worn or new casual clothing, such as slacks, jeans, t-shirts, button shirts, sweatshirts, socks, shoes & seasonal hoodies, coats, gloves & hats. Ideally, 25% or less of donations should be for woman and children.
- Please bring donations to the church basement Monday-Friday between 8:30AM and 3PM, or before or after the weekend Masses. The church basement door is on the north side of the church.

Fake Emails Sent
Recently another round of fake emails is asking folks for financial assistance on behalf of Fr. Gurnick. Please ignore – don’t even open them. Fr. Gurnick has only one email address he uses and it is published on the parish bulletin. Furthermore, parishioners would ordinarily not be reached via email for any such solicitation
