Growing Faith and Engaging Hearts
Thank you to everyone who supported our poinsettia sale. Your generosity is heartwarming.
Prepare your hearts for the Christmas Season and spend more time with Jesus thinking about the true meaning of Christmas. The Christmas Season should be about joy and love, a time of peace, reflection, and hope.
We prepare for everything important in life. In every case, preparation makes a great experience possible. When was the last time you prepared your heart for Christmas? Advent is a season of preparation. We should work on becoming better versions of ourselves in preparation for Jesus' coming. The Church invites us during Advent to take a step back and look at who we are, what we are doing, and where Jesus fits into our lives. Jesus came into this world that first Christmas for all of us to bring meaning to our lives, to fill us with lasting joy and hope, and to bring us to eternal happiness with Him in heaven. Are you ready? To spirits that long for it, may Christmas bring hope. To our world that needs it, may Christmas bring peace. To the people who walk in darkness, may Christmas bring the light of Jesus and the Joy of His presence to their hearts. To the hearts of all people, may Christmas bring love.
May God Bless you with His abundant love,
Sandy Acord
Director of Family Ministry

St. Martin de Porres - Christian Formation
Christian Faith Formation
Faith formation serves to guide Catholics in more fully proclaiming Christ as our center and light. By providing guidance, inspiration, and support in our journey with Christ, we inspire Christians to incorporate our faith in all aspects of their daily life.

The Christian Faith Formation process at St. Martin de Porres is open to all children,
