St. Martin de Porres, Partner Parish -
Mission, Purpose, Successe
As members of Saint Martin de Porres Parish in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, we seek:
- To worship in Word and Sacrament
- To proclaim and live the radical Gospel message of Jesus Christ
- To develop a loving and caring faith community committed to the principles of social justice
- To be a strong Catholic, evangelizing presence to all people, especially in the African American Community
Parishioners are challenged to strive for spiritual growth, to embrace the Gospel message, and to make a difference in the world. The Pastor, family members and staff of Saint Martin de Porres seek to fulfill the mission of love, peace and mutual respect by:
- Inspiring one another spiritually, emotionally and morally;
- Developing open and on-going communication between themselves and the community around them;
- Bringing one another to a deeper awareness of God's love and a sense of their own discipleship;
- Incorporating the values, teaching and traditions of African-American heritage into our prayer and worship.
