THE SPIRIT OF MATER

The foundation hosts The Spirit of Mater event. It is a beautiful and heartwarming event to honor very special people whose service exemplifies what the Spirit of Mater is all about.

It is a vivid reminder that Centro Mater was founded on the belief that love for children brings hope for the future. The Spirit of Mater is alive.

Our last event

SPRING MATERS

Centro Mater Foundation hosts our annual Spring Maters event to raise awareness and honor people or institutions in the community that have contributed in different ways to fulfill the mission of the foundation. As part of the event, our guests have the opportunity to hear from one of our students and learn about our summer campaign, Memorias de Verano. The goal of this campaign is to raise funds in order to provide summer memories to the Children of Centro Mater.

BACKPACK DRIVE

For the past 17 years, Centro Mater has organized a backpack drive, and this year, we are setting our goal higher—to provide 550 students with everything they need to start the new school year. We invite you to join us in this important mission. Centro Mater, a Catholic Charities organization, serves the neediest children in Little Havana, and your support can make a significant difference in their lives.
