As with all Catholics, the celebration of the Holy Mass is the center of the spiritual life of the Association. Accordingly, the Association celebrates the liturgy throughout the year but especially on the First Friday of each month when it celebrates and adores, as a group, the Eucharist.  Mass takes place at 12 pm at St. Hugh Church in Coconut Grove in the small chapel.

Masses are typically celebrated by one of our chaplains, or by a visiting priest (sometimes from Cuba), and are open to family and friends of the Order. We pray for special intentions for the Order and its members and recite the Prayer of the Order.

As is customary, several the attendees will join each other for lunch following Mass to continue the fellowship.  We look forward to seeing you at one of our First Friday celebrations!

Commemorating the Order of Malta’s founder, we gather each year on the Saturday closest to this feast day at St. Mary’s Cathedral for a beautiful mass. Following the mass, we have the Association’s Capitulo General (Chapter General), where the Board reviews the activities of the prior year.

As part of the commitment to the Order of Malta, we are encouraged to complete a spiritual Retreat once a year.  It is essential to connecting with, and learning more about, our faith on a regular basis.

The Cuban Association offers its members an opportunity to do so by conducting a multi-day retreat (5 evenings/6 days for members in Obedience and 3 evenings/4 days for others) at one of the leading retreat centers in the South Florida area.

During that time, Members can set aside time to be in quiet, rest and solitude with God. For generations, individuals have gone on spiritual retreats to encounter God and experience spiritual renewal.

Through the Chaplains of the Order, and its Members, one can complete a productive retreat – activities include Laudes (morning prayers); Guided Reflections; Vespers; Reconciliation; and a nightly Mass.  When not in session, retreatants can spend quiet time reflecting or meditating, as well as on Eucharistic Adoration.

The Annual Retreat is a great complement to the monthly spirituality activities (e.g., First Friday Mass, Spirituality Night, weekly Rosary) and our members grow in their faith through this beautiful encounter.

There is a charge for attending the retreat, which covers the costs of room and meals, as well as the collateral materials provided.

For more information on the Annual Retreat, including cost and more precise timing, please check back to this site and/or email spirituality@foundationorderofmalta.org

The Cuban Association meets on the fourth Wednesday of each month (except in July, August and December) for a “Noche de Espiritualidad,” where we reflect on our religion, listen to a talk from one of our chaplains, and generally have a chance to discuss our overall Spirituality (Espiritualidad is Spanish for Spirituality).

The White Cross Ball is more than just a glamorous evening; it is a vital event that supports several programs of the Cuban Association of the Order of Malta. Your participation helps serve the most vulnerable members of our society-the elderly, poor, and infirm. As global challenges continue to grow, the needs of the elderly become increasingly severe. It is for this reason that we need your support.

Together, we will gather to raise both awareness and funds for our mission. This event is a celebration of our collective efforts and shared commitment to the health and wellbeing of those most in need. By inviting friends, both old and new, we can continue the Legacy of Service that we are so proud to pass on.

Twice a year, the Catholic Church provides us an opportunity to celebrate two special periods of preparation: Lent and Advent.

So that we may be further nourished in our own preparation for the coming of Christmas, the Cuban Association, through its spirituality group, offers its members and friends an opportunity to step back and reflect on this important celebration.

In February (for Lent) and December (for Advent), we gather together for a morning, where we hear a number of talks and meditations; avail ourselves of the Sacrament of Reconciliation; and also celebrate the Eucharist as a community.

The morning of reflection is a great opportunity for the Cuban Association to step back, disconnect from the day-to-day pressures, and listen to the importance of these holidays to our faith. Morning of Reflection will be held at La Ermita de la Caridad on December 7th.

For more information on each of these events, including location and time, please check back to this site and/or email spirituality@foundationorderofmalta.org

This holiday season, be part of an event that gives back to the community. La Casa de Malta’s program ensures that those who are less fortunate in Miami have access to food and resources.

In 2020, faced with the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the members in Obedience decided that our Cuban Association should pray more fervently for an end to the crisis. Thus, the “Online Rosary” was created.

Each Tuesday, one member of the “Second Class” of the Cuban Association and his/her spouse lead the rest of the attendees through the recitation of the msyteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  As we have scheduled the Rosary on a Tuesday, the meditation for the Rosary are the Sorrowful Mysteries.

We invite you to join us to pray the Rosary on Tuesdays at 7:30pm. Meeting ID: 87126797514 / Passcode: 608891
