Happy Retirement, Fr. Sosa!
June 29, 2025
The Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, Apostles.

Wednesday, June 25, 2025

Thank You, Fr. Juan J. Sosa, for 15 Years of Faithful Service

As Fr. Juan J. Sosa begins his retirement, we as a parish family pause to offer heartfelt thanks for the 15 years of faithful and loving service he has given to our community.

From the moment you arrived, Father, your deep care for the spiritual well-being of your parishioners has been evident. With a shepherd’s heart, you have guided us through seasons of joy and sorrow, always reminding us of the presence and mercy of Christ. You have walked with us in the sacraments, celebrated our marriages, welcomed our children into the faith, comforted us in times of loss, and nourished us through your preaching and your presence at the altar.

Your love for the beauty of the liturgy has inspired and uplifted us. Whether through the reverence of the Mass, the sacred music, or the solemnity of the liturgical seasons, you have helped us encounter the sacred and draw closer to God.

We are especially grateful for your support of the many ministries that have flourished under your leadership. You have encouraged the gifts of so many—from catechists and lectors to those involved in youth ministry, outreach, and hospitality. You helped create a parish community where everyone was invited to serve, grow, and belong. In a special way, we thank you for your deep devotion to St. Joseph, our parish patron. You placed him at the heart of our parish spirituality, continually inviting us to imitate his silent strength, faith, and obedience to God’s will. You established a weekly day dedicated to his honor, helping us grow in our relationship with him and deepen our trust in his intercession and guidance.

As you enter this new chapter of rest and reflection, please know that your legacy will continue in the hearts and lives of those you have touched. You will remain in our prayers with deep affection and gratitude. May God bless you abundantly in your retirement, and may Our Lady, whom you have so faithfully honored, continue to watch over you together with St. Joseph always.

With sincere thanks and love,
Your Parish Family

Jubilee Year 2025 will offer the faithful opportunities to participate in various jubilee events at the Vatican and in their own dioceses. For pilgrims who cannot travel to Rome, bishops around the world have designated their cathedrals or a popular Catholic shrine as special places of prayer for Jubilee Year pilgrims, offering opportunities for reconciliation, indulgences and other events intended to strengthen and revive the faith.

Following churches and shrines are designated as special places of prayer for pilgrims:

  • Cathedral of St. Mary, Miami, 7525 NW 2nd Avenue, Miami.
  • The National Shrine of Our Lady of Charity (La Ermita), 3609 S. Miami Ave., Miami.
  • Our Lady of Schoenstatt Shrine, 22800 SW 187th Ave, Homestead.
  • St. Mary Star of the Sea Basilica, 1010 Windsor Lane, Key West.
  • Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish, 11691 NW 25th Street, Doral.
  • St. Clement Catholic Parish, 2975 N. Andrews Avenue, Wilton Manors.

The basic conditions to gain an indulgence are that a person is moved by a spirit of charity, is "purified through the sacrament of penance and refreshed by Holy Communion" and prays for the pope. Groups of faithful who wish to organize pilgrimages to one or more of the above des ignated churches or shrines should coordinate with the designated site so that the pilgrims can be properly welcomed and have access to the Sacraments, especially confession.

Stewardship

As we celebrate the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, we remember two great apostles who gave their lives completely to Christ. Though different in background and mission Peter the fisherman, Paul the scholar both were united in their love for the Lord and their unwavering commitment to building up His Church.

Their lives are powerful examples of Christian stewardship. Everything they had their time, their gifts, their very lives was placed in service to the Gospel. They remind us that stewardship is more than giving; it is a way of life rooted in gratitude, trust, and mission.

“I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith.” (2 TIMOTHY 4:7)

Take one minute each day to live Stewardship, reminding yourself that you are just passing through this life and will die one day; you will live more intentionally with a passion and purpose.

Mayordomía

Al celebrar la solemnidad de los santos Pedro y Pablo, recordamos a dos grandes apóstoles que consagraron su vida por entero a Cristo. Aunque con orígenes y misiones diferentes, Pedro, pescador, y Pablo, intelectual, ambos estaban unidos en su amor al Señor y en su compromiso inquebrantable con la edificación de su Iglesia. Sus vidas son poderosos ejemplos de corresponsabilidad cristiana. Todo lo que tenían, su tiempo, sus talentos, sus vidas, lo pusieron al servicio del Evangelio. Ellos nos recuerdan que la corresponsabilidad es más que dar; es una forma de vida fundamentada en la gratitud, la confianza y la misión.

“He peleado la buena batalla, he terminado la carrera, me he mantenido en la fe.” (2 TIMOTEO 4:7)

Tómate un minuto cada día para vivir la Corresponsabilidad, recordándote que estás de paso en esta vida y que un día morirás; vivirás más intensamente con una pasión y un propósito.
