Mother of Christ Catholic Parish
When Mother of Christ Parish was founded in 1983 in Miami, Florida, member parishioners began celebrating Mass - both in English and Spanish - in private homes and the Bent Tree Elementary School cafeteria.
It was with the help of the Women’s Club that the parish organized its first outreach group ministering the needy. Soon other ministries were established like the Saint Vincent de Paul Society, the CCD program and a youth group. Through various fundraising activities, future dreams were planned and realized.
The new parish center, dedicated in 1990, provided meeting rooms and classrooms of the growing parish offering the opportunity to many ministries and reach the needs of the community and cater to the neediest. The Stewardship Program was instrumental in encouraging and educating the parishioners to share their time, treasure and talents in various ways to support the growing needs of our community. Currently the Mother of Christ is at the service of evangelization with 20 apostolate groups or ministries.
Today we have an elementary offering Catholic education to students from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th Grade, as well as a Learning Center offering daycare and pre-Kinder education to children from eighteen months to PK4.
