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:
305-799-9311. Friends of the
Missionaries of Charity BlessedTeresaofCalcut-
Please note that we have openings for
Mass Intentions. Please come by the Rectory Office to arrange for a Mass for your
deceased loved ones. It is a good and holy virtue to remember and pray for those who

One in Faith, One in Hope, One in Charity
Does your life reflect the life of Jesus? Remember, we were made in His image. When others see you, do they see the face of Jesus? When you look at others, do you see the face of Jesus in them? We are ALL called to be generous with ALL of our gifts. Not just the ones we pick and choose, but all of our gifts: our time in prayer to God, our talent in participating in parish ministries and our treasure in supporting our local parish and the Archbishop’s Charities and Development Drive (ABCD). Together, as one family of God, we continue to build the Kingdom of God here in South Florida. We need you! Your support of the ABCD is truly a witness to being an instrument of God’s peace and mercy. You are the answer to someone’s prayers. If you have not already responded to the letter sent by mail to you by Archbishop Thomas Wenski, please take time to prayerfully consider your pledge for this year. Your faithful and generous participation in the ABCD flows from God’s many blessings to you and to those you hold dear. We ask for your continued support and invite you to join us to be One in Faith, One in Hope and One in Charity. Thank you.
Unidos en la Fe, unidos en la Esperanza, unidos en la Caridad
¿Su vida refleja la vida de Jesús? Recuerde, nosotros fuimos hechos a su imagen. Cuando los demás lo miran a usted, ¿hace usted que ellos vean en su rostro el rostro de Jesús? Cuando usted mira a los demás, ¿ve en ellos
el rostro de Jesús?
TODOS estamos llamados a ser generosos con TODOS nuestros dones. No sólo con los que hemos elegido y seleccionado, sino con todos nuestros regalos: nuestro tiempo en oración a Dios, nuestro talento para tomar
parte en los ministerios parroquiales, y nuestro tesoro para dar apoyo a nuestra parroquia local y a la Campaña de Caridades y Desarrollo del Arzobispo (ABCD).
Juntos, como una sola familia de Dios, continuamos construyendo el Reino de Dios aquí en el Sur de La Florida. ¡Le necesitamos! Su apoyo al ABCD es un verdadero testimonio de que usted es un instrumento de la paz y la
misericordia de Dios. Usted es la respuesta a las oraciones de alguien.
Si aún no ha respondido a la carta enviada por correo a usted por el Arzobispo Thomas Wenski, por favor, tómese el tiempo necesario para considerar en oración su compromiso para este año. Su participación fiel y generosa en el ABCD fluye de las muchas bendiciones de Dios para con usted y para sus seres queridos. Le
pedimos su continuo apoyo y le invitamos a estar con nosotros Unidos en la Fe, unidos en la Esperanza, unidos en la Caridad. ¡Gracias!
