At Saint Malachy Parish we are proud of a tradition
of involvement of parishioners in all levels of parish life. By its very
nature the church is destined to minister to others. All church members,
in turn, are invited to share in that ministry in imitation of the Lord
who throughout his life served others. We invite every parishioner to participate
in at least one parish ministry each year. Through this sharing of talents
the church is enriched. Through this service of others we are truly made
into the community of Christ's disciples.
To accept this invitation just click on the check boxes beside the ministries
in which you may be willing to participate, then follow the instructions
at the bottom of the list. We'll take it from there.
