Affectionately known as Father Willie, he is widely respected throughout Miami, especially among fellow Catholics, currently serving as the President of Belen Jesuit Preparatory School.

As Father Willie himself puts it, “We are in the business of providing the world and the Church with better men.” His passion for building future leaders — grounded in faith, integrity, and service — burns brighter than ever.

Memorial Day: We Remember and Honor

On this Memorial Day, we remember. We honor. We reflect.

At a time when our world often feels divided, we are reminded that the men and women of our military put aside differences every day—standing shoulder to shoulder in service of something greater than themselves: the safety, freedom, and promise of our nation.

Today, Mosaic Miami pays tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Their courage, unity, and selflessness embody the highest ideals of service—and call us to live with purpose, compassion, and hope.

May their memory be a blessing. May we carry forward their legacy by striving for a more united and understanding world.

Statement on the murder of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky

We are heartbroken by the senseless murder of Sarah Lynn Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C.— a young couple devoted to peace, service, and dialogue. They were killed after attending an event focused on how organizations are working together in response to humanitarian crises in Gaza and throughout the Middle East and North Africa.

Sarah and Yaron embodied the hope that even in the face of division, dialogue and empathy can prevail.

At Mosaic Miami, we condemn all acts of violence and remain dedicated to building a world grounded in dignity, understanding, and peace. We will not allow violence to extinguish the pursuit of justice or silence those working for reconciliation. While we cannot solve every problem, we can make a difference by engaging in open dialogue, seeking to understand differing perspectives, and showing respect even in moments of deep disagreement.

May their memories be a blessing, and a reminder to meet hatred with humanity, and despair with unwavering courage.
