Bishop Robinson's Visit

The year of celebration at Saint Martin’s continues in Feburary. On Sunday, February 12, the Right Reverend Gene Robinson will be here to preach and speak as we remember Absalom Jones: A Celebration of Gospel Hospitality. It was Father Murdock's privilege to serve with Bishop Robinson when he was Canon to the Ordinary in New Hampshire. Bishop Robinson has a warm and gentle heart, a joyful view of life, and a profound sense of the welcome of God. Bishop Robinson will preach and celebrate Eucharist at both the 8:00 and the 10:30 am services*, and will lead Adult Christian Formation (in the Church starting at 9:25 am)

*Please call the Parish Office to reserve your passes for the service. Service passes help us with safety in the church.

Mama Martino's

This year's Mama Martino's will be on Sunday, February 19 in the Fellowship Hall. The dinner is prepared, hosted, and served by the youth group. There will be two seatings at 5:00 and 6:30pm. Tickets are $8 for adults, $4 for children (5-11), and free for children under 5. There is a $30 family max. Tickets will be on sale on Sunday mornings beginning on February 5. Proceeds from the dinner will benefit next year's youth pilgrimage. The teens will donate their tips to various organizations and charities. Please contact Tim in the youth office for more information or to buy your tickets. We hope to see you at this year's dinner!
