Get your ‘good news’ via email

The archdiocese’s Communications Office sends out two weekly email blasts: one on Mondays with the Let’s Talk blog, and the other on Wednesdays with news and events from our website. The website is updated daily, and most of the news about parishes and schools appears there, since space is limited in the monthly print edition of the Florida Catholic. To subscribe to the weekly emails, go to the bottom right-hand corner of the website — www.miamiarch.org — and fill in your name and email. You can also follow the archdiocese on social media: @ArchdioceseofMiami on Facebook; @CatholicMiami on Twitter and Instagram. Feel free to “like” or “follow” our social media pages and use them as tools to make the Good News “go viral.” 

Editor's note: A news brief on Thrive, a new archdiocesan summer program for youths, has been deleted because the program's launch has been postponed until the summer of 2018.
