Dear parishioners, come join us at the
Missionaries of Charity Shelter, 724 N.W. 17 Street,
every 3rd Sunday of the month to cook for and feed the homeless men of Miami. Don’t miss this beautiful
opportunity to serve God by serving the poor.
The shelter opens for the
volunteers at 7:30 am but they don’t start serving food to the
homeless until 9:30am. There is a second food service
at 10:30 am and a third at 11:30am.
Those volunteers that get to the shelter in the morning help prepare and serve the food
during the first service.
You are welcomed to come at any time or day of the week.
The shelter is closed on Thursdays.
If you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to contact me, Jaime Murati, at:

Don’t cancel life insurance you no longer need! Consider instructing your life insurance agent to include St. Thomas the
Apostle as a primary or secondary beneficiary on your policy. By naming our parish as beneficiary, you’ll provide lasting financial
support and possibly qualify for tax benefits as well. It costs nothing to change the beneficiary on your policy and will mean
everything to our future parish community. For more information contact the rectory or call the Office of Planned Giving at
(305) 762-1110.
¡No cancele el seguro de vida que ya no necesita! Considere la posibilidad de instruir a su agente de seguros de vida para incluir a St. Thomas the Apostle como beneficiario primario o secundario en su póliza. Al nombrar a nuestra parroquia como beneficiaria,
usted le proporcionará un apoyo financiero duradero y posiblemente tendrá también derecho a recibir beneficios
fiscales. Cambiar el beneficiario de su póliza no cuesta nada y significará muchísimo para el futuro de nuestra comunidad
parroquial. Para más información, póngase en contacto con la rectoría o llame a la Oficina de Donaciones Planificadas al
(305) 762-1110.
