In Miami-Dade County, Archbishop Thomas Wenski will celebrate the Mass at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, 11691 N.W. 25 St., Doral, which is located next to Our Lady of Mercy Cemetery. In Broward County, Auxiliary Bishop Enrique Delgado will celebrate the Mass at Our Lady Queen of Heaven Church, 1400 S. State Road 7, North Lauderdale, which is located next to Our Lady Queen of Heaven Cemetery.

Vocations Awareness Week

Vocations Awareness Week will be celebrated Nov. 7-13 throughout the U.S. Each parish and school in the archdiocese is asked to pray for vocations on Thursday, Nov. 11, either by celebrating the Mass for Vocations to Holy Orders, holding a prayer service in the classroom, or taking part in a eucharistic Holy Hour as a parish community. Thursdays are usually the day to remember vocations to the priesthood because Holy Thursday is the day when the Eucharist and the priesthood were instituted. Any young men interested in the priesthood also should contact Father Matthew Gomez, archdiocesan vocations director, as preparations are underway for Vocations Awareness Weekend, to be held Nov. 12-14 at St. John Vianney Seminary in Miami. Father Gomez can be reached at [email protected].

Scholarships at Ave Maria U.

Ave Maria University is offering its first $2,000 Florida Catholic Scholarship, open to senior high school students who have a high school unweighted grade point average (GPA) of 2.8 or above and are practicing Catholics, able to provide a letter from their parish. Ave Maria University is a nationally and internationally renowned Catholic, liberal arts university located in southwest Florida, offering 31 majors and 29 minors. “We want all Florida Catholics to know that right in their own back yard is a premier institution of higher learning where a student can grow to reach unprecedented heights in their chosen field while simultaneously becoming persons of deep faith,” said Roger Nutt, provost at AMU. “Our culture seeks an unwarranted separation of faith from work, but at AMU, we integrate these two in developing the whole person.” For more information call 239-280-2556 or email [email protected].
