November Thanksgiving Dinner Meeting Photos
Our November Thanksgiving Dinner Meeting saw the Men’s Club “Gave Thanks” to our Veterans. The night began with four cadets from the Miami Killian High School JROTC program Color Guard presenting the flag. The JROTC director Major James Brown (US Army Retired) gave us a brief overview of their successful program. It was a pleasure to see these fully uniformed young men sharply execute the Flag presentation ceremony. The contrast in age and continuity of service was appreciated by our 24 attending Veterans. (10 USAF, 9 Army, 3 Marines, 1 Navy and 1 Coast Guard) SJN’s, Octavio Orochena (US Army PFC 1962-65) sang the National Anthem. Instead of military issued “MREs” a traditional Thanksgiving dinner was enjoyed by all 62 men in attendance. Our speaker Lt. Col. Tom Gammons (USAF Retired) who is the Education Officer at the Miami Military Museum gave us an excellent presentation on the history of the Richmond Naval Station as well as the impact of military events on our community.

ABOUT US
Join us and get involved
Faith ● Fellowship ● Service
Founded in 1981, the St. John Neumann Men’s Club is a Catholic men's group dedicated to promoting faith development, camaraderie, forming enduring friendships, and service to build a better Parish community at St. John Neumann Catholic Church in Miami, FL. Our monthly dinner meetings provide an opportunity for men of our Parish to enrich our faith, build friendships, hear informative and uplifting speaker presentations, and take action through service to support the work of the Parish, its ministries, and the wider community-at-large.
Thanks to our annual Golf Tournament and the work of our members, we are able to raise funds in support of our charitable projects and to assist over 20 spiritual and community outreach ministries of the Parish, such as Family Matters, Men’s Emmaus, Our Lady of Florida Spiritual Retreats, Homeless Ministry, Youth Ministry, Marriage Covenant Ministry, Habitat for Humanity, and St. John Neumann Catholic School. Since 1996, our Christmas Teddy Bear Project has visited and delivered Christmas Teddy Bears to over 11,000 children hospitalized during the Christmas holidays at area hospitals, including Baptist, Miami Children’s, and Jackson. The Club distributes over 1500 orchids every Mother's Day to the mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers of the Parish.
