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
are no longer with us.

Together, We Change Lives
A heartfelt THANK YOU to all who have made a commitment to the 2016 ABCD. To date, 57 of our parish families have responded. However, we need the support of ALL members of St. Thomas the Apostle if we are to be successful in reaching
our parish goal of $153,347.
Now is the time to make a return to the Lord for all HE has given us. Even a small gift can make a difference in the lives of those in need.
__________________________________________________________________

Sincero AGRADECIMIENTO a todos los que han hecho un compromiso con la Campaña de ABCD del 2016. Hasta la fecha, 57 familias en nuestra parroquia han respondido. Sin embargo, necesitamos de todos los miembros de St. Thomas the
Apostle para tener éxito en alcanzar nuestra meta parroquial de $153,347.
Ahora es el momento de recompensar al Señor por todo lo que Él nos ha dado. Una pequeña contribución puede representar una gran diferencia en las vidas de
los más necesitados.

What is so great about making a retreat?
On a retreat, you’ll be free from the distraction of your
daily routine. With your whole self relaxed, you will be able to open your heart and listen to
Jesus and the Holy Spirit. That is the deep satisfaction, inner peace and joy you will find.
Take time out to make an Emmaus retreat. If you
haven’t registered yet, you still have time.
The retreat is held on our parish grounds at St. Thomas the Apostle.
Cost is $125 (includes room, board and program). Register after all Masses through February 21, 2016.
For more information, please contact
