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:
