Welcome to Miami Catholics for Justice!

Dear Parishioners of St Kevin and friends:

After the unfortunate incident involving Fr. Jesús Saldaña last November, where he was subjected to vicious and wrongful accusations that resulted in Father Saldaña being placed on administrative leave, this placed a great strain on Father Saldaña; he not only could not lead his parishioners, but he also had to relocate to another location pending the resolution of this matter.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED?

After Father Saldaña’s arrest, the outcry from the parish community was immediate, measured, loud, and visible. This included letters to the Archdiocese of Miami, social media posts, and public petitions supporting Father Saldaña and calling for fair treatment, addressed to both civil and religious authorities. More than 2,500 parishioners and friends of Father Saldaña electronically signed this petition. The St. Kevin community responded with Rosary prayers and masses requested by parishioners, with special intentions for Father Saldaña.

Since then, several of us have been approached by parishioners willing to support Fr. Saldaña’s cause through both physical and financial participation.

Encouraged by these comments, we formed Miami Catholics for Justice as a nonprofit organization to provide a formal structure to channel efforts, activities, and funds toward securing justice, fair treatment, and final vindication for Fr. Saldaña, and to create a legal defense fund to accomplish this purpose. We are all volunteers!

Twice, we requested a meeting with Auxiliary Bishop Enrique Delgado, appointed by Archbishop Wenski to oversee our parish's operations in the absence of Fr. Saldaña. The first, a verbal request left at the parish, was ignored. The second, in writing, was met with a brief letter stating that Fr. Saldaña was on administrative leave and residing in another parish, with no indication of willingness to meet with us. Unofficially, we heard comments dismissing our organization as a small group of malcontents. And we ask you, is there any parishioner of St. Kevin who is not a malcontent, seeing what has happened to Fr. Saldaña?

How can you help?

Your support is vital—now more than ever. The future of our parish and the pursuit of justice for Fr. Jesús Saldaña depend on what we do together. Here is how you can make a real difference:

Unite in Prayer—Be Present, Be Heard!

Prayer is our greatest strength. Join us for the Rosary for Fr. Saldaña, held twice a month on Saturday mornings at St. Kevin’s Chapel. The next gathering is Saturday, January 31st, at 8:30 AM. Bring your family, invite your friends, and let us fill the chapel with faith and solidarity. Your presence sends a powerful message: we stand together and will not be silenced! Will you answer this call?

Give Generously, Every Gift Matters!
