Saint of the Day

In the Catholic Church we have a multitude of witnesses who have gone before us livng the Christian Life.  They have done some heroic acts of love including, for some of them, offering their life believing in Jesus Christ.  Our parish patron, St. Martin of Tours, is remembered every November 11th.  Click the link below to be inspired by the man or woman whom the Church holds up as a model of Christian life for us today.  You too are called to be a saint.  May today's Saint pray for us.

Eucharistic Revival

Adoration Chapel

     St. Martin Parish is pleased to offer Catholics a place to be with the Lord in prayer, praise, and adoration.  The Adoration Chapel is open daily.  Pope Francis and the bishops of the United States are calling Catholics to revive their faith and devotion for Jesus Christ present in the Eucharist, the Blessed Sacrament.  Visit Him Today.  

NATIONAL EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL PRAYER

Lord Jesus Christ, you give us your flesh and blood for the life of the world, and you desire that all people come to the Supper of the Sacrifice of the Lamb. Renew in your Church the truth, beauty, and goodness contained in the Most Blessed Eucharist.
     Jesus living in the Eucharist, come and live in me.
   Jesus healing in the Eucharist, come and heal me.
Jesus sacrificing yourself in the Eucharist, come & suffer in me
   Jesus rising in the Eucharist, come and rise to new life in me.
     Jesus loving in the Eucharist, come and love in me.
Lord Jesus Christ, through the paschal mystery of your death and resurrection made present in every Holy Mass, pour out your healing love on your Church and on our world. Grant that as we lift you up during this time of Eucharistic Revival, your Holy Spirit may draw all people to join us at this Banquet of Life. You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen.

Holy Land Pilgrimage

          In February 2024 I will be leading a ten-day pilgrimage to the Holy Land.  I hoped that about 20 people would like to visit where our Lord Jesus Christ was born, walked on water, preached and performed miracles, was crucified, died and rose from the dead.  Well, within a month 20 people from our parish signed up to go.  So, I’d like to make it available to more pilgrims who’d like to make this spiritual journey and never hear the Sunday Gospel in the same way again.

          This will be my sixth pilgrimage with AMiTravel.  They’ve been affordable, comfortable and safe, prayerful and informative experiences.  We celebrate Mass each day in places where Jesus ministered, stay in four-star hotels, enjoy healthy Mediterranean meals, and become one of the zillion faith-filled Christians who have traveled to pray in these sacred places of the Bible.     

          If you are interested, then go to the AMiTravel website.  There you will find information on what is provided, what is not provided, the itinerary, the land/air cost, and the link to join our Group.  Read about it, pray about it, and see if you are being called to follow in His footsteps – literally!  It could be the trip of a lifetime for you.   Shalom!   Fr. Dan
