'tis the season...for soup

It's early for the event, but just in time for the spirit of the thing. If you've never heard of the wonderful work being done at St. Malachi's Center (it's tucked in a corner over on the near west side), you don't know about one of Cleveland's best kept secrets.

Every year for the past (hmmm, I don't know how long it's been going on), St. Malachi's conducts a fund raiser dinner--consisting of soups and desserts donated by local restaurateurs. It's March 30 this year, but they're looking for people to help right now. If you haven't settled on a charitable cause for this year, why not adopt St. Malachi's? The event is called Soup For The Soul 2006 and will be held at Signature at LaCentre. Here's the call for help:

There are wonderful little jobs for you to accomplish. Will you volunteer on the committee?

A new task force is contacting businesses – asking that they sponsor a specific portion of the Soup evening. Will you help us reach the company you work for? And will you identify other companies who might help the Center?

Will you commit to look around you in the pews – and in your neighborhood – and at work – to recognize that there are people there whom you could influence in a good way? If you said “I support St. Malachi Center. And you could too. Will you (attend, sponsor, donate, whatever)?"

We need to help the Center help families who need help. Will you help? See the folks who are already helping, at the table at Coffee Hours.

P.S. This is Sixth annual SFS. "Coffee Hours" are gatherings at St. Malachi that take place after the 9:30 and 11:00 Masses there on Sundays.
Want to sponsor or help? Call Jackie or Ginny at the Center, 216-771-3036.
