every 3rd Sunday of the month
to cook for and feed the

Don’t miss this beautiful
opportunity to serve God by
serving the poor.

homeless until 9:30am.
There is a second food service

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

Having an estate plan is the only
way to ensure that your worldly
possessions are passed on to
your loved ones the way you
intend. Without an estate plan, you give up control over who
inherits your property. Instead, Florida’s intestacy laws
control how your assets are divided up and passed on.
Additionally, a substantial portion of your estate could be lost
to taxes. Protect yourself and be a good steward by creating
an estate plan today. For more information, contact the
rectory or call the Office of Planned Giving at (305) 762-1110.
Tener un plan de herencia es la única manera de asegurar
que sus posesiones terrenales se transfieran a sus seres
queridos de la manera que usted desea. Sin un plan de
herencia, usted renuncia al control de quién heredará su
propiedad. En cambio, las leyes de Herencia de la Florida
controlan cómo se divide y se transmite su herencia.
Además, una parte sustancial de su patrimonio podría
perderse en los impuestos. Protéjase a sí mismo y sea un
buen administrador creando un plan de herencia hoy mismo.
Para más información, póngase en contacto con la Oficina de
Donaciones Planificadas al (305 ) 762-1110.

Will You Have Mercy?
In this Holy Year of Mercy, let us live with the clear mission to rediscover and make fruitful the mercy of Jesus Christ. The
motto for this special Jubilee year, Merciful like the Father, is an invitation to follow His compassionate example asking us
to offer forgiveness and love without measure.
The corporal and spiritual works of mercy provide us with direction on how to practice this authentic love in our daily lives.
In essence, we are called to give of ourselves to others, most especially to those who need it, and if we open our hearts,
we will find countless chances to do so. Your support of the Archbishop’s Charities and Development Drive (ABCD) is the
perfect opportunity to answer the call to be merciful by helping those most in need.
The money you entrust to the Archdiocese of Miami is used to support the works of mercy. Together we are able to educate and evangelize; support struggling parishes and schools; assist in the formation of families and priests. And, through
multiple charities, we are able to care for the sick, the elderly, the immigrants, the less fortunate, and the spiritually poor—
all of us who need God’s word, the sacraments, and the teachings of the Church.
Will you be merciful like the Father? Will you continue to open the door for us all to unite to spread the Good News and
bring spiritual and physical hope to those in need? Please support this year’s ABCD by making a gift now. Thank you.
¿Tendrá usted misericordia?
En este Año Santo de la Misericordia, vivamos con la clara misión de redescubrir y hacer fructífera la misericordia de Jesucristo. El lema de este año jubilar, Misericordiosos como el Padre, es una invitación a seguir. Su ejemplo compasivo,
nos pide ofrecer perdón y amor sin medida.
Las obras corporales y espirituales de misericordia nos proporcionan orientación sobre cómo practicar este auténtico
amor en nuestra vida cotidiana. En esencia, estamos llamados a dar de nosotros mismos a los demás, sobre todo a aquellos que lo necesitan, y si abrimos nuestros corazones, nos encontraremos con un sinnúmero de posibilidades para hacerlo. Su apoyo a la Campaña de Caridades y Desarrollo del Arzobispo (ABCD) es la oportunidad perfecta para responder a
este llamado a ser misericordiosos, ayudando a los más necesitados.
El dinero que usted confía a la Arquidiócesis de Miami se utiliza para apoyar las obras de misericordia. Juntos somos capaces de educar y evangelizar; de apoyar a las parroquias y escuelas que confrontan dificultades económicas; de ayudar
en la formación de las familias y sacerdotes. Y, a través de múltiples obras de caridad, somos capaces de atender a los
enfermos, a los ancianos, a los inmigrantes, a los menos afortunados y a los espiritualmente pobres: a todos aquellos de
nosotros que necesitan de la palabra de Dios, de los sacramentos y las enseñanzas de la Iglesia.
¿Será usted misericordioso como el Padre? ¿Seguirá abriendo las puertas para que todos nos unamos en difundir la
Buena Nueva y llevar esperanza espiritual y física a los necesitados? Por favor, apoye ahora al ABCD de este año mediante una contribución.¡Gracias!
