Gratitude for the Class of 2025

As we quickly approach the end of the school year, I am filled with gratitude for the relationships and experiences that have brought us all together as one community. St. Martin School is a special place because most of our students and families are here for 10 years. During these years they become part of our school and parish community. We are so proud of the 38 students who will graduate on Friday, June 6th. I am in awe of their families who have dedicated and invested themselves in this community. All of us stand on their shoulders as we move forward. 

Congratulations to our Class of 2025:

Parish Information

Ordination Anniversary Prayer



Gracious and loving God, we thank you for the gift of our parochial vicar, Father Tony Famave. Through him, we experience your presence in the sacraments. Help Father Tony to be strong in his vocation. Set his soul on fire with love for your people. Grant him wisdom, understanding and strength he needs to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Inspire him with the vision of your Kingdom. Give him the words he needs to spread the Gospel. Allow him to experience joy in his ministry. Help him to be an instrument of your divine grace. May your love be with him always. We ask this through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns as our Eternal Priest. Amen.


Blessings to Fr. Tony on this day of May 29, 2025 - the 4th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood!
