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.

History

[edit]

1500 to 1550

[edit]

The first Catholic presence in present-day Florida was the expedition of the Spaniard Juan Ponce de León, who arrived somewhere on the Gulf Coast in 1513. Hostility from the native Calusa people prevented him from landing. De Leon returned to the region with a colonizing expedition in 1521, landing near either Charlotte Harbor or the mouth of the Caloosahatchee River. His expedition had 200 men, including several priests.[14]

In 1539, Spanish explorer Hernando De Soto, hoping to find gold in Florida, landed near present day Port Charlotte or San Carlos Bay. He named the new territory "La Bahia de Espiritu Santo," in honor of the Holy Spirit.[15] DeSoto led an expedition of 10 ships and 620 men. His company included 12 priests, there to evangelize the Native Americans. His priests celebrated mass almost every day.[15] Unwilling to attack such a large expedition, the Calusa evacuated their settlements near the landing area. The De Soto expedition later proceeded to the Tampa Bay area and then into central Florida.

The Spanish missionary Reverend Luis de Cáncer arrived by sea with several Dominican priests in present day Bradenton in 1549. Encountering a seemingly peaceful party of Tocobaga clan members, they decided to travel on to Tampa Bay. Several of the priests went overland with the Tocobaga while Cáncer and the rest of the party sailed to Tampa Bay to meet them.[16]

Arriving at Tampa Bay, Cáncer learned, while still on his ship, that the Tocobaga had murdered the priests in the overland party. Ignoring advice to leave the area, Cáncer went ashore, where he too was murdered.[16] The Spanish attempted to establish another mission in the Tampa Bay area in 1567, but it was soon abandoned.[17]

1550 to 1770

[edit]

The first Catholics in Eastern Florida were a group of Spanish Jesuits who founded a mission in 1566 on Upper Matecumbe Key in the Florida Keys. After several years of disease and turbulent relations with the Native American inhabitants, the missionaries returned to Spain.[18]The Spanish attempted to establish another mission in the Tampa Bay area in 1567, but soon abandoned it.[19]

In 1571, Spanish Jesuit missionaries made an brief, unsuccessful trip to Northern Florida. Two years later, in 1573, several Spanish Franciscan missionaries arrived in present day St. Augustine. They established the Mission Nombre de Dios in 1587 at a village of the Timucuan people.[20] By 1606, Florida was under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Havana in Cuba.

In 1565, the Spanish explorer Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, the founder of Saint Augustine and Governor of Spanish Florida, brokered a peace agreement with the Calusa peoples. This agreement allowed him to build the San Antón de Carlos mission at Mound Key in what is now Lee County. Menéndez de Avilés also built a fort at Mound Key and established a garrison.

San Antón de Carlos was the first Jesuit mission in the Western Hemisphere and the first Catholic presence within the Venice area. Juan Rogel and Francisco de Villareal spent the winter at the mission studying the Calusa language, then started evangelizing among the Calusa in southern Florida. The Jesuits built a chapel at the mission in 1567. Conflicts with the Calusa soon increased, prompting Menéndez de Avilés to abandon San Antón de Carlos in 1569.[21]

1700 to 1800

[edit]

By the early 1700's, the Spanish Franciscans had established a network of 40 missions in Northern and Central Florida, with 70 priests ministering to over 25,000 Native American converts.[22] However, raids by British settlers and their Creek Native American allies from the Carolinas eventually shut down the missions. Part of the reason for the raids was that the Spanish colonists gave refuge to enslaved people who had escaped the Carolinas.[23] A number of Timucuan Catholic converts in Northern Florida were slaughtered during these incursions.

After the end of the French and Indian War in 1763, Spain ceded all of Florida to Great Britain for the return of Cuba. Given the antagonism of Protestant Great Britain to Catholicism, the majority of the Catholic population in Florida fled to Cuba.[24]

After the American Revolution, Spain regained control of Florida in 1784. from Great Britain.[25] In 1793, the Vatican changed the jurisdiction for Florida Catholics from Havana to the Apostolic Vicariate of Louisiana and the Two Floridas, based in New Orleans.[26]

1800 to 1900

[edit]
Bishop Verot

In the Adams–Onís Treaty of 1819, Spain ceded all of Florida to the United States, which established the Florida Territory in 1821.[27] In 1825, Pope Leo XII erected the Vicariate of Alabama and Florida, which included all of Florida, based in Mobile ,Alabama.[28]

In 1850, Pope Pius IX erected the Diocese of Savannah, which included Georgia and all of Florida east of the Apalachicola River. That same year, Bishop Francis X. Gartland of Savannah sent Reverend John F. Kirby to Key West to tend to a growing Catholic community there. He constructed Saint Mary Star of the Sea Church in Key West in 1852.[29]In 1858, Pius IX moved Florida into a new Apostolic Vicariate of Florida and named Bishop Augustin Verot as vicar apostolic.[30] Since the new vicariate had only three priests, Vérot traveled to France in 1859 to recruit more. He succeeded in bringing back seven priests to Florida.[31] The first Catholic parish in Tampa, St. Louis, was founded in 1859.

In 1870, Pius IX elevated the Vicariate of Florida into the Diocese of St. Augustine and named Vérot as its first bishop.[32] The new diocese covered all of Florida except for the Florida Panhandle region. Gesù Parish in Miami, founded in 1896, was the first parish founded in South Florida outside of the Florida Keys.[33]

1900 to 1968

[edit]

The first Catholic church in Homestead was Sacred Heart, constructed in 1917.[34] In the 1950s and early 1960s, St. Augustine bishop Joseph Hurley purchased land throughout South Florida in anticipation of a future population boom.[35] Dozens of Catholic churches, schools and cemeteries were later built on land purchased by Hurley.[2]

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]

On March 2, 1968, Pope Paul VI erected the Dioceses 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.[36]

During the American Civil Rights Movement of the 60's, Carroll was influential in stemming threatened racial riots in Miami. He desegregated the Catholic schools in the archdiocese ten years before any other diocese in Florida.[37][38] 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."[37]

1977 to 2003

[edit]

After Carroll died 1977, Paul VI named Bishop Edward McCarthy as Miami's archbishop.[39][40] 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, McCarthy opened the Pierre Toussaint Haitian Catholic Center in Miami.[40][41] McCarthy retired in 1994.[2]

On November 3, 1994, Pope John Paul II appointed Bishop John C. Favalora 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 Vision 2000, a five-year fundraising campaign to support Catholic education and outreach institutions in the archdiocese. Vision 2000 raised $90 million.[2]

2003 to present

[edit]
Archbishop Wenski

On July 11, 2003, John Paul II appointed Auxiliary Bishop Thomas Wenski of Miami to lead the Diocese of Orlando.[42][43] With substantial immigration of predominantly Catholic South and Central Americans to the South Florida area, the Catholic population reached 25% of the total population of South Florida. Waves of immigrants from other parts of the world, including Asia and Africa, led to priests celebrating mass in over a dozen different languages.[2][44]

In 2009, the Vatican named Reverend Fernando Isern, pastor of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish in Kendall, as the next bishop of the Diocese of Pueblo. He was the 11th archdiocesan priest to become bishop since 1958.[45]

On April 20, 2010, Pope Benedict XVI accepted Favarola's resignation and appointed Bishop Thomas Wenski of Orlando as his successor.[46] On June 1, 2010, Wenski was installed as the fourth archbishop of Miami at the Cathedral of Saint Mary.[47] Wenski in June 2021 praised the archdiocesan community for its support of victims of the collapse of the Champlain Towers condominium building in Surfside. [48]

In February 2023, the archdiocese offered refuge to Nicaraguan priests and seminarians who had been exiled by the Government of Nicaragua.[49]As of November 2024, Wenski is the current archbishop
