Call us:

  • Before going to the hospital – in cases of illness or injury, St. Martin’s clergy want to be notified. A primary ministry of the Church is to provide prayers for healing and assurance of the presence of God in the midst of suffering.

  • When you decide to be married – the clergy are eager to assist couples as they prepare to commit themselves to one another in Christian marriage. Guidelines concerning weddings at St. Martin’s are available at the parish office. Several premarital conferences are to be scheduled with the priest by the bride and groom.

  • When someone is ready for baptism – baptism, becoming a member of the Body of Christ, is a primary and joyous moment in the Christian life, and the clergy are happy to help individuals and families prepare for it. Baptisms usually take place during a regularly scheduled service; and, parents, godparents and/or adult candidates attend a pre-baptism meeting.

  • When there is a crisis in your family – whether it is a marital problem, a serious conflict between parents and teenager, depression, or some other crisis in the life of an individual, the clergy can provide assistance and, when appropriate, referral to other professional counselors in the community.

  • When there is a death in the family, or death is imminent – St. Martin’s clergy should be notified in order that comforting ministrations of the Church may be provided to the person dying and/or to the family, including arrangements for burial.
