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:

ABCD: Give and You Shall Receive
Our church is a place to pray, to give thanks, to mourn and to celebrate. A place for us all to unite—in need and
abundance—to have mercy, lift each other up and ease pain and suffering. A place people turn to in their time of
need. We are all instruments of God’s mercy and peace. Our church, our family uniting to help those in need.
Thank you to all who have already generously responded to this year’s ABCD. Your support strengthens the
ministries that serve our Archdiocese and allow the Church to form new disciples. As Scriptures remind us, Give
and it shall be given to you. Your neighbor needs you. You are the answer to someone’s prayers, and together,
we are changing lives.
If you have yet to respond to this year’s ABCD, please take a moment to reflect upon the many blessings the
Lord has given you and how He is calling you to respond this incredibly important annual campaign. To make a
gift, you can obtain a pledge envelope from the parish office or you can make a gift online at
www.isupportabcd.org. Let us all unite through our support of this year’s ABCD so that we can be One in Faith,
One in Hope and One in Charity. Thank you
ABCD: Den y recibirán
Nuestra iglesia es un lugar para rezar, dar gracias, lamentarnos y celebrar. Un lugar para que todos —tanto los
necesitados como los que disfrutan de abundancia—nos unamos en la misericordia, en sostenernos
mutuamente y en aliviarnos el dolor y el sufrimiento. Un lugar al que la gente acude en sus momentos de
necesidad. Todos somos instrumentos de la misericordia y la paz de Dios. Nuestra iglesia, nuestra familia,
unidas para ayudar a los necesitados.
¡Gracias a todos los que ya han respondido generosamente al ABCD de este año! Su apoyo fortalece los
ministerios que sirven a nuestra Arquidiócesis y permiten a la Iglesia formar nuevos discípulos. Como las
Escrituras nos recuerdan, Den y recibirán. Su prójimo necesita de usted. Usted es la respuesta a las oraciones
de alguien, y juntos, estamos transformando vidas.
Si aún no ha respondido al ABCD de este año, por favor, tómese un momento para reflexionar sobre las muchas
bendiciones que el Señor le ha dado, y sobre cómo Él le está llamando a responder esta campaña anual, que es
increíblemente importante. Para hacer un donativo, usted puede obtener un sobre de compromiso en la oficina
de la parroquia, o puede hacer su donación en línea, en www.isupportabcd.org. Unámonos todos a través de
nuestro apoyo al ABCD de este año para seguir Unidos en la Fe, Unidos en la Esperanza, Unidos en la Caridad.
¡Gracias!
