The Archdiocese of Miami (Latin: Archidioecesis Miamiensis, Spanish: Arquidiócesis de Miami, Haitian Creole: Achidyosèz Miami) is a Latin Church archdiocese of the Catholic Church in South Florida in the United States. It is the metropolitan see for the Ecclesiastical Province of Miami, which covers all of Florida. The Archdiocese of Miami contains the Florida counties Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe.
Formed in 1958, the archdiocese added many Cuban members following the Cuban Revolution in 1959. It was involved in Operation Pedro Pan, a clandestine operation to bring Cuban children to South Florida. Starting in the late 1990s or early 2000s it has faced a sexual abuse scandal in which at least 90 minors made claims of sexual abuse as of 2003.
The archdiocese operates two hospitals and other healthcare facilities. It runs 60 elementary or middle schools, 13 high schools, and two universities. It celebrates mass in at least a dozen languages.
The Cathedral of Saint Mary is the mother church of the archdiocese. As of 2023, the archbishop of Miami is Thomas Wenski.
Structure
[edit]The Archdiocese of Miami has 258 priests, 133 permanent deacons, 41 religious brothers and 204 religious sisters.[1] As of 2006, the Catholic population in South Florida was approximately 475,774 in 109 parishes and missions.[2]
The archdiocese celebrates mass in at least a dozen languages.[2] It operates two schools for the disabled, 60 elementary/middle schools, 13 high schools, two universities,[3][4] and two seminaries.[5] The archdiocese operates Radio, print, and television media outlets.[6]
The archdiocese operates two hospitals, nine health care centers, three homes for the aged, and two cemeteries.[7] The archdiocesan charities include homeless shelters, legal services for the poor, an HIV/AIDS ministry, and the Missionaries of Charity and Society of Saint Vincent de Paul ministries to the poor.[8][9][10][11][12][13] Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami is a separate non-profit organization operated by the archdiocese.[7][14]
History
[edit]1566 to 1896
[edit]The first Catholic presence in the South Florida region was the establishment of a mission on Upper Matecumbe Key in the Florida Keys region by Spanish Jesuits in 1566. After several years of disease and turbulent relations with the Native American inhabitants, the missionaries returned to Spain.[15] Missions to the Keys were attempted again in 1724 and 1743, but both ended quickly in failure.[16]
In 1850, Bishop Francis X. Gartland of the Diocese of Savannah, which then had jurisdiction over Florida, sent John F. Kirby to Key West to tend to a growing Catholic community there. He constructed Saint Mary Star of the Sea Church there in 1852.[16]
1896 to 1958
[edit]–Gesù Church in Miami, found in 1896, is the oldest Catholic Church in South Florida outside of the Florida Keys.[17] The first Catholic church in Homestead was Sacred Heart, constructed in 1917.[18]
Before 1952, the entire State of Florida was under the jurisdiction of one diocese, the Diocese of Saint Augustine. In the 1950s and early 1960s, Saint Augustine bishop Joseph Patrick Hurley purchased land throughout South Florida in anticipation of a future population boom.[19] Dozens of Catholic churches, schools and cemeteries were built on land purchased by Hurley.[2]
1958 to 1968
[edit]Pope Pius XII erected the Diocese of Miami on October 7, 1958, naming Auxiliary Bishop Coleman Carroll from the Diocese of Pittsburgh as the first bishop of Miami. On its formation, the new diocese included the 16 southern counties in Florida, with a Catholic population of approximately 200,000.
The Cuban Revolution in 1959 triggered a wave of Cuban immigration to South Florida, increasing the Catholic population in the region. Carroll established the Catholic Welfare Bureau to assist these immigrants. Between 1960 and 1962, the bureau ran a clandestine operation, Operation Pedro Pan, to bring 14,000 Cuban children to South Florida.
1968 to 1977
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f6/Mariel_Refugees.jpg/220px-Mariel_Refugees.jpg)
On March 2, 1968, Pope Paul VI erected the Diocese of St. Petersburg and Orlando, taking eight counties from the Diocese of Miami. At the same time, the pope elevated the Diocese of Miami to the Archdiocese of Miami, naming Carroll as archbishop.[20]
During the American Civil Rights Movement of the 60's, Carroll was influential in stemming threatened racial riots in Miami. He racially desegregated the Catholic schools in the archdiocese ten years before any other Catholic diocese in Florida.[21][22] Carroll was a co-founder of the Community Relations Board, which worked to "quell waves of misunderstanding, discrimination and discontent which often threatened to flood South Florida's multi-ethnic community."[21]
1977 to 2003
[edit]After Carroll died 1977, Paul VI named Bishop Edward McCarthy as Miami's archbishop.[23][24] McCarthy oversaw the construction in Miami Shores of the Pastoral Center - Florida Catholic for the archdiocese and restructured most senior operational divisions. He established the Office of Lay Ecclesial Ministry, the Office of Evangelization and the permanent diaconate program. In 1980, he offered support and assistance to Cuban refugees during the Mariel Boat Lift. The following year, he supported the rights of Haitian immigrants who were detained by the US Immigration Service under the Wet Foot, Dry Foot policy. Responding to the needs of this new immigration, he opened the Pierre Toussaint Haitian Catholic Center in Miami.[24][25] McCarthy retired in 1994 at the required retirement age of 75.[2]
On November 3, 1994, Pope John Paul II appointed Bishop John C. Favalora of the Diocese of St. Petersburg as the third archbishop of Miami. During his tenure, Favalora built two new high schools and nine grade schools. Favalora also initiated the Vision 2000 campaign, a five-year fundraising campaign to support Catholic education and outreach institutions in the archdiocese. The effort raised $90 million.[2]
2003 to present
[edit]On July 11, 2003, John Paul II appointed Auxiliary Bishop Thomas Wenski of Miami to lead the Diocese of Orlando.[26][27] With substantial immigration of predominantly Catholic South and Central Americans to the South Florida area, the Catholic population there is 25% of the total population. Waves of immigrants from other parts of the world, including Asian and African countries, have led to mass being celebrated in over a dozen different languages in parishes throughout the archdiocese.[2][28]
In 2009, Fernando Isern of Our Lady of Lourdes, Kendall, was named the next bishop of Pueblo. He is the 11th priest from the archdiocese to be so designated since its creation in 1958.[29]
On April 20, 2010, Pope Benedict XVI accepted Favarola's resignation and appointed Bishop Thomas Wenski of the Diocese of Orlando as his successor.[30] On June 1, 2010, Wenski was installed as the fourth archbishop of Miami at the Cathedral of Saint Mary.[31] As of 2023, Wenski is the current archbishop
Sexual abuse
[edit]In 2003, The Miami Herald reported that, since the archdiocese began insurance coverage in 1966, insurance companies have paid $9.3 million for settlement, legal and counseling costs to resolve claims of sexual abuse by priests and other employees of the Archdiocese of Miami. This included 90 abuse claims by minors. In the late 1990s the church entered into confidential settlements of abuse cases which are not reflected in the reported total dollar amount. [32]
On March 15, 2019, Homestead priest Jean Claude Jean-Philippe was arrested on charges of drugging and raping a female parishioner who he invited to his home the previous October.[33]
