Pray for vocations
The Vocations Office is beginning a campaign to pray a Hail Mary a day for vocations. "We know that there is a need for men and women to answer the Lord’s call," said Father Matthew Gomez, archdiocesan vocations director. "So we take Jesus’ advice: 'Ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.' What better way to ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers than by asking his mother?" Prayer cards are available in the Vocations Office. Email [email protected] to request the cards or pick them up at the office in the Pastoral Center, 9401 Biscayne Blvd., Miami.

Meetings of the Broward Courage group have resumed. Courage is an official ministry of the Catholic Church for adults with same-sex attraction who want to lead chaste lives. For information, call 571-294-5933.
Beware of scammers
The Archdiocese of Miami is still hearing reports of scammers impersonating Archbishop Thomas Wenski and some of our priests on Facebook, Instagram and other social media platforms, as well as via texts and phone calls. Please be aware that no archdiocesan priest or bishop will ever contact you directly asking for money, gift cards or anything else. If you, your friends, family, or parish staff receive a direct message from anyone impersonating Archbishop Wenski or one of our priests, please do not respond. Report the fake account immediately to the social media platform and let the archdiocesan Communications Office know by emailing [email protected]. Impersonator scams also should be reported to the Federal Trade Commission by calling 1-877-382-4357; or Florida’s Consumer Protection Division, 1-866-966-7226.
