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.

Did you know that less than half of all people have a will or an estate plan? A will
ensures that your intentions for taking care of loved ones and distributing property
are legally fulfilled. Be one of those who have chosen to be a good steward, and
take the time to prepare a will or estate plan. We appreciate any consideration for
a gift to St. Thomas the Apostle. For more information, contact the rectory or call
the Office of Planned Giving at (305) 762-1110.
¿Sabía usted que menos de la mitad de todas las personas disponen de un
testamento o de un documento de última voluntad? La última voluntad garantiza
que sus intenciones para cuidar de sus seres queridos y distribuir sus
propiedades se cumplan legalmente. Conviértase en una de las personas que
han decidido ser buenos administradores, y ocúpese de preparar su testamento
o última voluntad. Le agradeceremos cualquier donación que haga a la Parroquia
de St. Thomas the Apostle. Para más información, póngase en contacto con la
Oficina de Donaciones Planificadas al (305) 762-1110.

2016 Archbishop’s Charity and Development Drive (ABCD) Begins
As we begin the 2016 year, let us reflect on the many blessings in our lives. When we truly believe
that all we have is a gift from God, then we must be willing to give up some things so that we can
share our blessings as God intended. Living a stewardship lifestyle means not only being responsible
for our own life, but the lives of others as well.
Jesus teaches us that we are called to serve one another. Sacrifice is not a word that many people like
to hear. We think it means that we must give up something that we want. However, the literal
meaning of sacrifice is “to make holy,” from the words of “sacer” meaning sacred and “facere”
meaning to make. In other words, we make our lives holy by sharing our gifts in the service of God.
Soon we will be asking you to make a contribution to this year’s ABCD. Please take this time to
prayerfully consider what sacrificial gift you will be able to place at God’s service.
If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all. Mark 9:35.
Comienza la Campaña de Caridades y Desarrollo del Arzobispo (ABCD) 2016
Al comenzar el año 2016, reflexionemos sobre las muchas bendiciones que tenemos en nuestras vidas.
Cuando realmente creemos que todo lo que tenemos es un regalo de Dios, entonces debemos estar
dispuestos a renunciar a algunas cosas para poder compartir nuestras bendiciones como Dios manda.
Vivir la vida según el estilo de la mayordomía significa no sólo ser responsables de nuestra propia
vida, sino de las vidas de los demás.
Jesús nos enseña que estamos llamados a servirnos los unos a los otros. “Sacrificio” no es una palabra
que a mucha gente le gusta oír. Creemos que esto significa que debemos renunciar a algo que
queremos. Sin embargo, el significado literal de sacrificio es “santificar”, hacer que algo sea santo, y
proviene de las palabras latinas sacer, que significa sagrado, y facere, que significa hacer. En otras
palabras, hacemos que nuestra vida sea santa compartiendo nuestros dones al servicio de Dios.
Pronto les pediremos que hagan una contribución al ABCD de este año. Por favor, dedique este
tiempo a considerar en oración qué donativo sacrificial será usted capaz de poner al servicio de Dios.
Si alguno quiere ser el primero, que sea el último de todos y el servidor de todos. Marcos 9:35.
