Welcome to Saint Agatha – Saint Martin de Porres
We strive to bring faith, hope and love to our West Side Community.
Join us Sunday for Mass!
11 am – Saint Martin de Porres
Dear Church Family and our Visitors,
Thank you for visiting our Church Website! Here you will find some basic information of our Church and its operation activities. Our Church is a community of Believers shaped in its identity and operation, by the message of the Gospel as it is narrated by the Gospel of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and various epistles and books of the New Testament.
Moreover, the activities and experiences of God in history, as they are recounted in the books of the Old Testament, affirm the basic principle that our God is a merciful God, slow to anger and always abounding in love.
He is a God who cares for the people He created in His image and likeness as His own. He is a forgiving God who does not hold grudges but pure love (agape) for his people.
Our community of Believers believe that God’s mercy is unlimited to all regardless of their creed, color, gender, political affiliation, economic status, age, or anything else that separates or divides us. To this end, we proclaim that God is inviting you to come to Him. He is inviting you to think about your mission and purpose here on earth because He wants you to be the best version of you.
Therefore, this platform is a place that can challenge and rejuvenate your heart to think about what you can do to accomplish the work of God; it is a place for you to begin that journey of self-reflection and self-discovery.
Welcome to the St. Martin de Porres website. Welcome to the Community of faith, hope and love. Welcome to St. Martin de Porres Church. God bless you and your family.
