Best Churches in Miami

"SHRINE OUR LADY OF CHARITY" has been a spiritual and evangelization center in South Florida for over 50 years. The shrine commemorates the appearance of a beautiful image of the Mother of Christ in the Bay of Nipe during the early 17th century. Three peasants discovered the image floating on a small table with a sign that read "I AM THE VIRGIN OF CHARITY" after three days of storms. From that moment, the image has been venerated as "OUR LADY" of Charity, and many pilgrims visit her to pray and seek her protection in times of danger and need. The "SHRINE, OUR LADY" of Charity, is a special place for united prayer and to strengthen trust in divine mercy. The Hermitage is open to all, without distinction of sex, race, or religion, and is considered the spiritual home for all of God's children.
