message = Ken, Pat received Carolyn Miller's message that Lenny will be presiding at the Mass at MCI/Framingham on 4/26. Pat and I want to be kept on the prison ministry list, but we won't be able t be there on the 26th, since we will be at the annual Interfaith Counseling Service, Inc. dinner at Boston College that night. That's the organization that David Killian headed up for many years. Pat and I hope that we can be at MCI in May. See you Sunday.

name = Kathleen Reynolds

from = Wilmington

message = My family and I thought Easter Mass was exceptionally wonderful (but isn't every Sunday Mass at St. Malachy's?). The music was beautiful and I was wondering if a recording of the choir and musicians was available? If not, perhaps Ken would consider taping this wonderful group and selling the recordings to parishoners and others. My young children have to suffer through my rendition of "Our Father" each afternoon and night. It's amazing they can fall asleep! Just a suggestion...

name = David Millar

from = Worcester, MA

message = St. Malachy staff and parishoners. I am greatly impressed with the layout and presentation of these web pages. It puts many major corprations pages to shame. Great job and keep up the great work.

I also second Jeff Daigle's motion to post Fr O'Malley's homily, it would be great for us who are unable to attend due to being away @ school.

name = DICK REILLY

from = MALDEN MA

message = at the insistence of Steve Morecroft, I've visited your page and was pleasantly surprised-and pleased -to see the Church making what appears to me to be a valid and honest approach to bring itself into the modern era.The page was well constructed and thought out; the information clear and concise-but most importantly-especially to one like myself who no longer participates in religious activities-is the sense of warmth and community that is projected on these pages - I wish you well in this endeavour.

name = Kathleen M. Rice

from = Natick, MA

message = If you find me a place I can afford, I would love to live near your parish so I could visit your parish 24, 7!!! If you hear of any two bedroom apts., cheap, let me know. I love St. Malachy's. My husband Pat and I would love to live near your parish so we could worship there more regularly than we do now since we live in Natick. Keep up the good work, your Adult Education is GREAT!!!

from = Burlington, MA

message = Hi All.

I always thought that a web page for St. Malachy's would be a great idea since our world is so Web-Oriented now. My husband is Jewish and occasionally comes to church with me. He was never comfortable in the other church's we've tried in the area. But he definitely sees my attraction to St. Malachy - he says it's a different atmosphere, more welcoming. Interfaith groups are great for learning more about eachother and also for refreshing our minds about what our faiths are about. Have you ever considered forming such a group? Just a thought.

Anyway - very nice web page.

from = Watertown, MA

message = Dear Lenny, Ken, John and staff,

It was a pleasure to see this web site. I'm proud to be a part of St Malachy Parish. The information contained was easy to use and very nicely done. Hey John, your taking a chance wearing that T-shirt in Patriots Country!!

I enjoyed the introduction to the staff and the brief bio that accompanied them. It's always nice to get a little background on the people that keep the wheels in motion. Also I appreciated the coffee house section. A great way to inform people of upcoming shows and dates, with a little promotional spot for the performers! My hat is off to the person(s) responsible for the piece on St Malachy. VERY INTERESTING!

Is there any way to get Fr O'Malleys homily in here each week? WOW! wouldn't it be nice if we could share the wisdom that he speaks every Sunday. I truly enjoy the way he relates the Gospel to our every day lives. He has a uniqueness in his thoughts and manner of presentation that, for me, is truly inspiring. I think about it all week long until the next Sunday's message. I know he fills others with hope and guidance as well. This parish is blessed!! Lenny brings us all closer to God every time he shares his words with us. I know that it's probably a dream to have his homily put in words on the web. So I'll take this time to encourage anyone reading this to join us on Sunday and hear it for yourself. It's a wonderful place....come share the experience with us.

date = Sun, 1 Feb 1998

name = Elizabeth

from = Wheelock College (Boston)

message = I love our church! (as we were reminded @ mass, it is not the walls that make a church, it is the people).

I felt an instant sense of peace and belonging the first time I entered St.Malachy Parish. When my family moved a year ago,I unwillingly left the church I had grown up in. While just beginning the search for a new house of worship,I found myself seated inside St. Malachy's, where I instantly felt connected.

When I went off to school in August, I attended services @ Emmanuel College. I left mass feeling somewhat empty; I had heard the Word of God, prayed and received communion, yet I did not feel rejuvinated. I came to the realization that going through the motions of mass was not enough; I missed the community, the children and the music. Since early September, I have been coming home to attend the weekend liturgy @ St. Malachy Parish.

This web page is great.

As a former member of the parish, I am delighted to be able to keep up with what is happening in the parish. I pray for continued growth in faith for the members of St. Malachy Parish. To my many friends in the parish, I miss you greatly and keep all of you in my prayers. Please accept my best wishes on the inauguration of your web page.

message = This is a wonderful concept for getting information about your parish out. I especially like the news about directions and mass schedules. It is handy for those online and the pictures will help newcomers identify who's who.

I'd like to talk to you about how to do this for St. Mary's.

Peace and blessing to the entire community and Happy New Year.
