St. Martin de Porres - Christian Formation
Christian Faith Formation
Faith formation serves to guide Catholics in more fully proclaiming Christ as our center and light. By providing guidance, inspiration, and support in our journey with Christ, we inspire Christians to incorporate our faith in all aspects of their daily life.

The Christian Faith Formation process at St. Martin de Porres is open to all children,
levels 1 through 9. Our classes begin in September and conclude at the end of April.
We welcome children from families of other parishes in the surrounding area. We

Growing Faith and Engaging Hearts
Congratulations to all of the students who celebrated their First Holy Communion! I am very proud of them for all of their hard work in preparing for this special Sacrament. May they always believe that the Eucharist is truly the Real Presence of Jesus – His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. I hope they will continue their enthusiasm to learn more about the Catholic faith, to keep God in their lives, and to
continue their faith journey. Thank you to their parents for bringing them to class, to the extra sacramental workshops, and to Mass. Keep up the good work! Thank you to Grace Lallmann, our level two catechist, who did a great job preparing the students.
