Vol. XXXIV No.6 Catholic Archdiocese of Miami Friday, March 20,1987 ABCD r Peace & love )- goes over the top! By Betsy Kennedy Voice Staff Writer Their cup runneth over — again ! In response to the needs of Catholic charities and ministries, parishes in Dade, Broward and Monroe raised $5,571,673 for the 1987 ArchBishops' Charities and Development drive. It is believed that parishes may have been inspired by the coming papal visit here in September and pushed harder than ever to top the minimum ABCD goal of $4.9 million to help defray costs of the historic event. The formal results were announced at a luncheon attended by approximately 125 pastors at St. Bartholomew church in Miramar. One VIP guest was participating for the first time in the ABCD activities. "Since the very beginning of this year's ABCD campaign, I have been amazed at the constant interest and work that all of our priests and people have put into it. This went on in all parts of the archdiocese...." said Auxiliary Bishop Norbert Dorsey, who was just elevated to bishop last April. "This means that all of our Catholic people are not only generous with time and material goods but are willing to make sacrifices to help the poor and needy. I am so proud to be a part of our Archdiocese," he said.
