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. 

Visit our Safe Environments page to learn more about our care of the children of St. Martin de Porres Parish

The Christian Faith Formation process at St. Martin de Porres is open to all children,
levels 1 through 9. Our classes begin in September and conclude at the end of April.
We welcome children from families of other parishes in the surrounding area. We
​ask that families be registered at St. Martin de Porres Church, but it is not mandatory. ​​

   Growing Faith and Engaging Hearts  


We give thanks for what Jesus has done for us by His life, death and resurrection. May Resurrected Jesus fill your hearts with light and love. Open your hearts to the Lord this Easter Season so you can hear His voice and see His face in our everchanging world. Remember, we are all precious in the eyes of our Lord, and we remain in His loving hands.

A Prayer for Easter Eyes

My Lord, Jesus,
You have risen to new life! Give me new eyes with which to
recognize Your presence in the world around me. Sharpen my
vision so that I see beyond the ordinary events of each day and
into the extraordinary reality of Your grace. Brighten my view
of the world with renewed hope in the coming of Your
Kingdom. Soften my gaze so that I view others with the kind of
tenderness and compassion You showed to so many. May
each day of this Easter Season provide
glimpses of Your glory. In Your sacred name, I pray. Amen.

Happy Easter,




On April 7, 2024, we’re going to have a family dinner in the Parish Center right after the 11:00 a.m. Mass. There will be food and entertainment. All are welcome! Please see the flyer here or in the the bulletin to give you details on how to RSVP.
