St. Martin of Tours

PRAYER: Do spend time in prayer, stay in touch with God. Visit the Blessed Sacrament to spend time in silence in Eucharistic Adoration. 

ABSTINENCE: Anyone between the ages 14-59 should avoid eating meat on Friday's during Lent. One can also give up something, often something that is harmful to others. Instead, devote some time to cultivate positive attitudes toward eachother. 

CHARITY: Make most out of the opportunity to help the needy; visit the sick, donate your time, talents or monitary donations for good causes. 

My dear friends, 

Welcome to St. Martin of Tours. With gratitude to God, I thank God for an opportunity to serve as your Pastor.

We look forward to 2019-2020  to Renew and Rebuild St. Martin of Tours Parish, especially, by having Parish Center in Memory of Fr. John Flynn. I am hopeful that together we can make it happen.

So far the campaign to raise funds for the Parish Center in Memory of Fr. John Flynn is going well. Together we can accomplish our goal. Reach out to your family, friends and neighbors and invite them to be part of the legacy in honor of Fr. John Flynn. 

God bless you hundredfold for your generosity and sacrifices!

Fr. Cosme Fernandes
           Pastor

 

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, you called your Church to fulfill Christ's commission to teach, serve, and santify, and to make disciples of all nations. Bestow on us the grace, O God, necessary to live out this great mission across the archdiocese, at our parishes and in our homes. Enlighten, by your Holy Spirit, all who are called to teach. May they come to know you more deeply as the source of all truth and share your Gospel with others. May we follow His example and minister to the suffering, the lonely, and the needy in our midst with patience, courage, and love. Illuminate, by the light of your glory, all of the baptized whose calling it is to sanctify by making your Presence known in the world. May our lives always bear witness to your everlasting love. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

St. Martin of Tours, Bronx is focusing on creating Father John Flynn Parish Center by renovating the Convent. Dedicating this project to the memory of Rev.  John Flynn will keep his spirit alive in the neighborhood.

The new parish center will allow for more meeting space for our various groups and ministries at St. Martin of Tours, including a special Parish Youth Center. Currently, meetings and events are held in the Rectory- where space is limited.
