Greetings Friends, Clients & Colleagues,
We hope this message finds you and yours well.
Marile and I are still reflecting with great joy on our 15th Annual “Cheers to Charity” luncheon hosted by our beloved Archbishop Thomas G. Wenski on April 28 at Joe’s Stone Crabs.
Sharing that special family day with the clergy, our boys AR, Luis Jorge and Carlos and dearest friends from our South Florida Catholic community was truly meaningful.
For 50 years — since his ordination on May 15, 1976 — Archbishop Wenski has poured his heart into serving God’s people with extraordinary love.
From his pioneering ministry among Haitian immigrants and founding the Pierre Toussaint Haitian Catholic Center, to his national leadership on migration and his tireless advocacy for the vulnerable, he has been a true shepherd and “missionary in his own backyard.”
As the first native son to become Archbishop of Miami, his warmth, faithful example, and commitment to charity have deeply inspired our family and strengthened our own faith and call to service.
We are especially excited to celebrate with His Excellency this Friday, May 15, as he marks this golden 50th milestone of priestly ordination.
As lifelong Catholics volunteering and supporting the Archbishop’s Charities, we invite you to join us in honoring his legacy of compassionate care, by supporting Catholic Health Services — the Archdiocese’s healthcare ministry that brings healing and comfort to the vulnerable every day.
Your generosity makes a real difference: https://www.catholichealthservices.org/donate/
Thank you for reflecting with us.
In faith and appreciation,
Marile & Jorge Luis Lopez, Esq.
