Program Information St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church began in August 1970 with a congregation of over 2,000 families. This faith community continues to grow rapidly, not only in the number of parishioners but also in the number of staff, diverse ministries, and organizations it provided. St. Martin de Porres has an abundant variety of parish ministries and organizations that work together to challenge, impact and empower everyone in the community to live the Good News of Jesus Christ. We strive to be an evangelizing faith community that invites all its members to become fully alive in their Catholic faith through Faith Formation, Worship, Community Life, and Service. We welcome and support all persons, whether adults, youth, or children, to the ongoing commitment of sharing the responsibility of building the Kingdom of God.
