Today, we celebrate the solemnity of the mystery at the center of our faith, where everything originates and where everything returns. The mystery of God and His unity, and at the same time, His subsistence in three equal and yet, different Persons. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit: unity in communion and communion in unity. Pope Francis said, ”Our being created in the image and likeness of God-communion calls us to understand ourselves as beings-in-relation, and to live interpersonal relationships in solidarity and reciprocal love. The living God is not a solitary God. The living God is not an isolated God. From all eternity the living God has lived in relationship, indeed, has lived as relationship. At the center of the universe is relationship. From all eternity the living God has been community. From all eternity the living God has been infinitely pleased as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.”

Hoy celebramos la solemnidad del misterio que se encuentra en el centro de nuestra fe, de donde todo se origina y adonde todo retorna. El misterio de Dios y su unidad, y al mismo tiempo, su subsistencia en tres Personas iguales y, sin embargo, diferentes: el Padre, el Hijo y el Espíritu Santo: unidad en la comunión y comunión en la unidad. El Papa Francisco dijo: “Nuestra creación a imagen y semejanza de Dios-comunión nos llama a comprendernos como seres en relación y a vivir las relaciones interpersonales en solidaridad y amor recíproco. El Dios vivo no es un Dios solitario. El Dios vivo no es un Dios aislado. Desde la eternidad, el Dios vivo ha vivido en relación; de hecho, ha vivido como relación. En el centro del universo está la relación. Desde la eternidad, el Dios vivo ha sido comunidad. Desde la eternidad, el Dios vivo se ha complacido infinitamente como Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo”.

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.

Our History

Throughout these years, many committed volunteers have been instruments of hope for vulnerable lives. Victoria Gamba, who co-directed the ministry from 2018 to 2023, led 10 volunteers per week and converted her garage into a collection center, stands out.

In 2020, with the arrival of the pandemic, we adapted our work to new realities: virtual meetings, rosaries via Zoom, and a restructuring within the Archdiocese that consolidated the five centers into three. One of them is directed by Belkys Rodríguez, a parishioner and volunteer from the beginning.

Main Activities

Our work is expressed in multiple initiatives, including:

  • Baby Bottle Collection, a symbol of our parish presence.
  • Prayer in front of abortion clinics, led by Luciana Barnabei.
  • Participation in the Pro-Life Marches in Tallahassee and Washington.
  • Collaboration with Youth Ministries and Religious Education to collect baby items.
  • Rosaries for the most vulnerable, as a tool for formation and awareness.
  • Theology of the Body Seminar for young people.

Our Action Today

We currently meet on the first Friday of every month from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., in the parish's mobile homes. There we share formation, experiences, prayer, and projects to continue bringing the culture of life to our young people and the entire community.

  • We have two active volunteers weekly at the centers, and three more in formation.
  • Every Saturday at 10:00 a.m., we hold our Holy Hour, organized by Fabiana Casteigts, who coordinates the weekly meetings.
  • We maintain a WhatsApp group to stay connected, share news, prayer requests, needs, and calls to action.

Do you feel the call?

If you feel the calling in your heart to serve in this ministry of love and hope, we invite you to contact us or attend our meetings.
There is no more beautiful work than defending life and serving those most in need.

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.

Nuestra Trayectoria

A lo largo de estos años, muchos voluntarios comprometidos han sido instrumentos de esperanza en vidas vulnerables. Destacándose Victoria Gamba, quien co-dirigió el ministerio de 2018 a 2023, liderando a 10 voluntarias semanales y convirtiendo su garaje en centro de acopio.

En 2020, con la llegada de la pandemia, adaptamos nuestra labor a las nuevas realidades: reuniones virtuales, rosarios por Zoom, y una reestructuración dentro de la Arquidiócesis que concentró los cinco centros en tres. Uno de ellos cuenta con la dirección de Belkys Rodríguez, feligresa de nuestra parroquia y voluntaria desde los inicios.

Actividades Principales

Nuestra acción se expresa en múltiples iniciativas, entre ellas:

  • Colecta del Biberón, símbolo de nuestra presencia parroquial.
  • Rezo frente a clínicas de aborto, liderado por Luciana Barnabei.
  • Participación en las Marchas Pro Vida en Tallahassee y Washington.
  • Colaboración con los Ministerios de Jóvenes y Educación Religiosa para recolectar artículos para bebés.
  • Rosarios por los más vulnerables, como herramienta de formación y concientización.
  • Seminario de Teología del Cuerpo para jóvenes.

Nuestra Acción Hoy

Actualmente nos reunimos el primer viernes de cada mes de 10:00 a.m. a 12:00 p.m., en los portables de la parroquia.Allí compartimos formación, experiencias, oración y proyectos para seguir llevando la cultura de la vida a nuestros jóvenes y a toda la comunidad:

  • Contamos con 2 voluntarias activas semanalmente en los centros, y 3 más en formación.
  • Cada sábado a las 10:00 a.m., tenemos nuestra Hora Santa, organizada por Fabiana Casteigts, quien coordina las asistencias semanales.
  • Mantenemos un grupo de WhatsApp para estar conectados, compartir noticias, pedidos de oración, necesidades y convocatorias.

¿Sientes el llamado?

Si sientes en tu corazón el llamado a servir en este ministerio de amor y esperanza, te invitamos a contactarnos o a participar en nuestras reuniones.
No hay labor más hermosa que defender la vida y servir a quienes más lo necesitan.

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.
