Your support has a direct impact on our mission, enabling transformative programs like MetroTown, a six-day immersive experience where high school students from diverse backgrounds come together to explore leadership, empathy, and unity—at no cost to them. Or, our other programs such as Youth Institute, Emerging Leaders, A Brave Space and Interfaith Clergy.

Our work is far from over and in today’s day, needed more than ever.

Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference, as together we are creating a more connected, compassionate Miami.

Thank you for your continued support and generosity.

Mosaic Miami’s Interfaith Clergy Dialogue is the longest-running program of its kind in the United States. This initiative brings together religious leaders from a wide range of faith traditions for regular, meaningful dialogue focused on fostering understanding, collaboration, and collective action.

Held monthly, these gatherings provide a safe and welcoming space for clergy to engage in honest conversations about pressing community issues—including antisemitism, racial prejudice, immigration, and other social challenges. Through open dialogue and mutual respect, participants work to strengthen interfaith relationships and create unified responses that reflect the diverse spiritual fabric of Miami.

More than just discussion, the Clergy Dialogue plays a critical role in shaping inclusive, faith-based responses to community needs. It exemplifies Mosaic Miami’s commitment to building bridges across religious and cultural divides and ensuring that Miami’s faith communities stand together in times of both celebration and crisis.

Today, alongside communities worldwide, we stand together mourning the loss of a true champion of “be good to thy neighbor.”, Pope Francis.

Living his life ensuring equality and peace on earth, Pope Francis was a visionary and empathetic leader — the first from the Americas to hold the title of Pope, and a strong advocate of everything Mosaic Miami believes in and stands for. His legacy is a reflection of the values we strive to embody every day: compassion, justice, unity, and radical love for our neighbors.

Born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Pope Francis served as the 266th pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church. He made history not only with where he came from but also with how he led — humbly, honestly, and with a heart always turned toward those on the margins.

He reminded the world that faith is not just something we hold — it’s something we live. He championed inclusion over exclusion, dialogue over division, and grace over judgment. His message reached beyond borders and religious lines, speaking to the soul of humanity.

At Mosaic Miami, we honor his life with both grief and gratitude. We reflect on his unwavering call to care for one another, especially the least among us, and to walk humbly with God.

May Pope Francis rest in the eternal peace of Christ — the peace he so boldly preached and gently lived.
May his legacy and teachings continue to inspire generations to come.

With love and hope,
The Mosaic Miami Team
