Misión de Cursillos de Cristiandad

Cursillos de Cristiandad es un Movimiento Diocesano de la Arquidiócesis de Miami. El propósito primordial del Movimiento es llevar almas a Cristo.

Pastoral Care Ministry Mission

This ministry serves the homebound parishioners due to aging and/or have an underlying medical condition that is preventing them from attending mass. An Extraordinary Eucharist Minister visits the parishioner and takes the sacrament of Holy Communion at home. There are two teams: one team is the Extraordinary Eucharist Ministers who visits them home, prays with them, read scripture, and visit them on a weekly basis. The other team sends greeting cards to them. These cards are sent on birthdays, thinking of you and holidays throughout the year. We want them to feel they are a loving member of our parish community, are prayed and are loved by God. We also send sympathy cards to family members that have lost a loved one.

Contact: Chavely Falcon [email protected] or (305) 558-2202

Many times, we ask ourselves, “What can I do to help change the World?” One thing you can do is help children to know and love the Lord. You do not need a degree in Theology to help them learn about God.

All you need is to share your Love for God and want to serve others to grow yourself personally and spiritually in the process of teaching the Word of God. This is an exclusive opportunity to help our parish’s children and adults who are seeking to learn about God.

Become a Volunteer

Muchas veces nos preguntamos: "¿Qué puedo hacer para ayudar a cambiar el mundo?" Una cosa que puedes hacer es ayudar a los niños a conocer y amar a Dios. Usted no necesita un título en teología para ayudarles a aprender acerca de Dios.

Todo lo que necesita es compartir su amor por Dios y querer servir a los demás para el crecimiento personal y espiritual de los estudiantes en su proceso de aprender de la Palabra de Dios. Esta es una oportunidad única para usted ayudar a los niños y adultos de nuestra parroquia que están ansiosos de conocer a Dios.

Together we are the Church

2021 ABCD Goal $295,999.00. We have $ 204,520.00 in pledges. We have received $ 87,848.82 in payments. Our Pledge Balance is $ 116,671.18. We need $91,479.00 more in pledges to reach our goal.

We still need your support more than ever now! If you have not donated to ABCD 2021, you still can.

Your gift to the ABCD allows the Archdiocese of Miami to help those in need just as Christ calls us to mirror the love of Christ by putting your faith into action and making a gift of hope today.

You can do so today by visiting: www.isupportabcd.org.

You Make A Difference! Your Support Is Greatly Appreciated! Thank you!

Dear Friends,

Every year our parish contributes to the Archbishop Charities and Development Drive (ABCD), as does every parish in Miami These contributions are tremendously important. They are used, among other things to fund the seminaries that train our priests, and to support parochial schools in low-income neighborhoods, like St. Mary’s in Little Haiti. The money we all contribute is used to take care of the elderly indigent, to help poor couples welcome their children into the world instead of aborting them, and to feed and clothe the mentally ill who sadly live on the sidewalks of our downtown.

In short, the great works of charity of the Catholic Church, which includes spiritual formation in the faith, is made possible in Miami by the ABCD.

We are asking that EVERY family at Our Lady of The Lakes Church, contribute to this important mission. It is simply our duty as Catholics and as role models for our children and the wider community. There is no reason why we cannot achieve 100% participation.

Please take a moment to consider how much you can pledge this very day. It can be arranged to be paid monthly if that works better for your family. What is important is to commit to the charity that is the hallmark of the honorable Christian.
