Parish Membership

Parish membership is based on regular attendance at Sunday Eucharist and participation in parish activities.  Active parishioners are involved in stewardship of time, talent and treasure.

Parish Ministries

St. Martin of Tours and St. Paul's Parish communities are grateful for the gift of your service. Please feel free to offer your time and talent in Thanksgiving for God's generosity.

Baptism

This first of all the Sacraments of Initiation is a significant moment in the life of a Christian. Because of the importance of this Sacramental Moment we encourage the celebration of Baptism during the Eucharistic Celebration of the Lord’s Day. Any parent expecting a child is asked to contact the rectory to schedule the Baptism of their child.

Marriage

Couples contemplating marriage should contact the parish office at least six months before the anticipated date.  This allows for proper preparation for this sacrament of commitment.

Hospitals, Nursing Homes and Anointing of the Sick

Please notify the parish office of anyone in the hospital, nursing home or seriously ill anticipating an operation or advanced in age.  Members of the parish are available to bring communion to the sick and the homebound each Sunday.

Mass Intentions

You can honor a deceased relative or friend by remembering them with a Mass intention.  Please call the rectory if you would like to have a Mass said for someone.  The cost is $10.00 per Mass.

Items for the Bulletin

Announcements should be submitted by Wednesday each week. Upcoming events should be in the bulletin 2 weeks prior to the scheduled event.

Web Page Information
