The Town of Miami Lakes observed the National Day of Prayer with clerics from different faiths, members of town staff, the police department and the community who gathered in Town Hall on May 1.
Mayor Josh Dieguez, Vice Mayor Bryan Morera and Council members Angelo Cuadra Garcia, Ray Garcia, Steven Herzberg and Alex Sanchez participated, as did Miami Dade Public School Board Member Roberto Alonso, with some leading prayers.
Faith leaders who spoke included Pastor Dr. Juan Barek; Sr. Pastor Rigo Figueredo of Nest Church; Rev. Joseph Lucas of the Orthodox Cathedral of Christ the Savior; Rabbi David Weberman of the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office; Pastor Louis Egipciaco of Elevate Church and Father Ivan Rodriguez of Our Lady of the Lakes Catholic Parish.
Prayers were offered for what the town called pillars of society: government employees and leaders; the military and veterans; media; business; families; first responders and churches.
Sasha Rodriguez sang the national anthem and the Elevate Church Band performed.
A light breakfast was served by BB’s Bakehouse.
