Good Shepherd Catholic Parish - Miami (FL)

Nicolas Falquez I love the newly re-opened downtown campus. A stunning building, great staff and volunteers, and just overall amazing place to worship. The kids ministry is extremely safe and a game changer for families.

Sara Leo This church has made a major impact on me and my relationship with Christ! I love that they include the youth and they have services that the youth leads! The word is amazing here and I always feel the spirit of the Lord here!

Terri E. Trinity Episcopal Cathedral located across from Omni Center. They allow parking in the back lot for $15. Cash or Zelle only. Its legit. Parking at Omni Center garage is pricey at $15 for first 0-60 min. Each additional hour is $8. Daily maximum rate is $50!!!

Kim Johnson Have been attending since we moved to Brickell about 2 years ago. Love worshipping the Lord with a diverse family of believers and seekers. Growing in my faith through preaching and small group studies that are Bible-focused.

Robert Taylor Love the music and warmth of its members. Messages from Pastor Carlos are practical messages about the Kingdom of God and how our faith in Jesus can transform our live, not just tweak it.

Rosa Espindola Nice Sunday service in English and Arabic. (11:30 am) Very friendly and family oriented Catholics members. The church have also service at 6:00 pm in Spanish. What I like about this church is that its always open and the music is great. Little souvenirs store that sales candles and flowers for the devotees to offer and to have a personal spiritual moment. Very much recommend. Love always.

Lissette Hernandez I agree somewhat with one of the posts here. The worship is amazing and that the sermon is a bit too long. However! It is by far NOT boring! Pastor Kevin is an amazing teacher and the time goes by very fast. Because its Sunday and I do spend time with my family, yes, it would be best if the preaching was shorter, but we should not tell the spirit what to do and I am sure the pastor is being guided by it. And yes, all churches need more bodies of Christ, but if we are going too judge it by this and other small details, no one would go to any. I have been going for over a month, but due to my job, I haven not been able to go every Sunday. I follow the sermons on Sound Cloud and wish I could just go. It really is much better bring there. If you think it needs members, then come and give this church the 5 stars it deserves!

Jennifer Morales New review: I wanted to follow up and acknowledge Father Jesús Ferras’ thoughtful and sincere response to my previous review. I truly appreciate the time he took to personally address my experience and offer an apology. His words reflect what I had hoped to encounter from the beginning — understanding, compassion, and the spirit of the Church. While my initial experience was disappointing and left me feeling dismissed, Father Ferras’ message reminded me of the importance of grace and dialogue within our faith community. I respect his willingness to reach out and turn an unfortunate encounter into an opportunity for reflection and hopefully, improvement. As Catholics — especially when we’re guiding others through sacraments — kindness, patience, and understanding should always be present. I am grateful this was recognized, and I sincerely hope others who seek assistance from the parish are met with the love and support that should reflect our faith. Thank you, Father Ferras, for your response and blessing during this important time for us. Original 1 Star review: I rarely leave reviews, but after this experience, I feel it’s necessary — not just as a customer, but as a fellow Catholic. My husband and I are preparing for marriage and reached out to request his sacramental records — a process that is both new and significant for us. Unfortunately, the response we received was dismissive and unkind. Rather than being met with the welcoming spirit we’re accustomed to from our home parish, we were treated as a burden. When I asked how long the process would take, the woman on the phone curtly said, “Two weeks, I don’t know — maybe your parish has more people working there, but I’m just one person.” I understand being busy. I also understand that many parishes are short-staffed. But as Catholics, we are called to reflect Christ — especially when serving others who reach out to the Church for help. A little patience, kindness, and compassion would have gone a long way, especially toward a couple trying to follow Church teaching and prepare for the sacrament of marriage. Sadly, this interaction left me disappointed and disheartened. I pray that others seeking guidance or assistance from this parish receive a warmer welcome — one that reflects the true heart of our faith.

Cindy Alvarez Visited St. John Bosco Church to attend Mass on Feast of Guardian Angels, October 2. Church is a six minute Uber drive from Life House in Little Havana, Fl. Mass Monday through Friday at 0800 and 7pm in Spanish. It was packed at 7pm Mass. The priest gave a lively and genuine homily about our Guardian Angels and how they are with us always, ready to assist us on our journey. Padre Pio and many faithful saints spoke lovingly and frequently to their Guardian Angels. I never feel like a stranger in Pequeña Havana, whether walking for Café Cubano, water, food or attending Mass. I always feel like I am home. I love Pequeña Havana as much as I love my native Texas. Los Cubanos son demasiados hermosos. I love Cubanos because they embrace me with love and kindness. ¡Qué Viva La Virgen de la Caridad y VIVA PEQUEÑA HAVANA!

Julian Gonzalez This church in Pinecrest has become my go-to for mass. I feel very comfortable with both the pastors, the people, and atmosphere. Highly recommend a visit. The Church is beautiful.
