Welcome Parents of St. Martin.
St. Martin of Tours always looks forward to partnering with you the parent as you are the first catechist for your children.
Together we will provide resources, events, classes--many opportunites for your children and you to develop a deeper understanding of Christ and opportunities for you both to enter into a closer relationship with Christ.
Please look over the web pages on this site. Under Faith Formation you will find teachings through websites and web videos. You will also find calendars, permission slips, registration forms and other practical information.
Parents have shared the gift of human life with their children and, through Baptism, have enriched them with a share in God's own life. They have the duty to nourish it. Their faith, their attitude toward other human beings, and their trust in a loving God strongly influence the development of the child's faith. Parents are catechists precisely because they are parents. Their role in the formation of Christian values in their children is irreplaceable. They should speak naturally and simply about God and -person of Jesus and the beauty of the word of God and tell them the story of Mary, the Mother of God, as well as of the lives of the saints.
