The mission of the Respect Life Ministry of the Archdiocese of Miami is to defend the sanctity and dignity of all human life, from conception to natural death.

We do this in four main ways:

1. Public Information and Education: to deepen understanding of the sanctity of human life, the value of each person from conception, and the Church's call to bear witness to life.
2. Pastoral Care: accompanying women in crisis pregnancies, people who have experienced abortion, the sick, their families, victims of violence, people deprived of their liberty, and all those who suffer.
3. Public Policies: promoting laws that protect the unborn and the vulnerable, and offering alternatives to abortion and assisted suicide.
4. Prayer and Worship: as a spiritual pillar, fostering sacramental and community life to establish a culture of life and love.

History of Our Ministry at Saint Katharine Drexel

The Pro-Life Ministry at our parish was born in 2013, when we were still celebrating Mass at the Glades Circle offices. It all began thanks to a volunteer who saw the need and began collecting baby items to take weekly to the Respect Life Center in Ft. Lauderdale.

In 2015, Beatriz Capdevielle, moved by a deep calling to service, joined this mission with the vision of formalizing a ministry. Thus, together with the initial volunteer, they gave life to the Pro-Life Ministry of Saint Katharine Drexel, which Beatriz led with love and dedication for 10 years, until January 2025. That year, Beatriz moved to another city and left the ministry in the hands of Anahí Welschen, a volunteer from the beginning.

La misión del Ministerio de Respeto a la Vida de la Arquidiócesis de Miami es defender la santidad y la dignidad de toda vida humana, desde la concepción hasta la muerte natural.

Lo hacemos de cuatro maneras principales:

1. Información y Educación Pública: para profundizar la comprensión de la santidad de la vida humana, el valor de cada persona desde la concepción, y el llamado de la Iglesia a dar testimonio de la vida.
2. Atención Pastoral: acompañando a mujeres con embarazos en crisis, a personas que han experimentado un aborto, a los enfermos, a sus familias, a víctimas de violencia, a personas privadas de libertad, y a todos aquellos que sufren.
3. Políticas Públicas: promoviendo leyes que protejan a los no nacidos y a los vulnerables, y ofreciendo alternativas al aborto y al suicidio asistido.
4. Oración y Adoración: como pilar espiritual, fomentando la vida sacramental y comunitaria para instaurar una cultura de vida y amor.

Historia de nuestro Ministerio en Saint Katharine Drexel

El Ministerio Pro-Vida en nuestra parroquia nació en 2013, cuando aún celebrabamos misa en las oficinas de Glades Circle. Todo comenzó gracias a una voluntaria que vio la necesidad y comenzó a recolectar artículos de bebé para llevar semanalmente al Centro Respect Life en Ft. Lauderdale.

En 2015, Beatriz Capdevielle, movida por un profundo llamado al servicio, se unió a esta misión con la visión de formalizar un ministerio. Así, junto a la voluntaria inicial, le dieron vida al Ministerio Pro-Vida de Saint Katharine Drexel, que Beatriz lideró con amor y entrega durante 10 años, hasta enero de 2025. Ese año, Beatriz se mudó a otra ciudad, y dejó el ministerio a cargo de Anahí Welschen, voluntaria desde los comienzos.

Liturgical Catechesis: The Parts of the Mass | Issue 16 / 40

The homily is an intrinsic part of the Liturgy of the Word and as essential to it as are the scriptural proclamations.

Its purpose is to create a bridge between the biblical faith expressed in the readings and the real lives lived in the particular community.

An effective homilist takes the time to know his community and understand what it needs to hear. He studies the readings, prays for the guidance of the Spirit, and works at presenting his words in an organized and interesting way.

Though it is not necessary that the presiding celebrant be the homilist, preaching the homily is reserved to the ordained ministry, and the presider who will later break the bread is the most appropriate person to “break open" God's word.

Catequesis Litúrgica: Las partes de la Misa | Edición 16 / 40

La homilía es una parte intrínseca de la Liturgia de la Palabra y tan esencial como lo son las proclamaciones de las Escrituras.

Su propósito es crear un puente entre la fe bíblica expresada en las lecturas y la vida real vivida en la comunidad particular.

Un buen homilista se toma el tiempo para conocer a su comunidad y comprender qué necesita oír. Estudia las lecturas, ora pidiendo la guía del Espíritu y se esfuerza por presentar sus palabras de manera organizada e interesante.

Aunque no es necesario que el celebrante principal sea quien dé la homilía, la predicación está reservada al ministro ordenado, quien preside y que luego partirá el pan. Es la persona mas apropiada para explicar la Palabra de Dios.
