St. Martin de Porres Parish in Milwaukee is like its patron saint, St. Martin de Porres. The parish is a diverse population of people and talents with a commitment to discipleship and service in the spirit of Jesus. The community of disciples is rooted in Scripture, strengthened in sacrament, committed to justice and steadfast in service. It welcomes those who are looking for a parish.

This report focuses on the sacramental life at the parish, including First Communion, Religious Education, Confirmation and Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults – a multi-parish program including: St. Martin de Porres, St. Francis and All Saints Catholic Churches.

At St. Martin de Porres Parish, there were 5 First Communion students, 12 participants in the multi-parish RCIA program and 3 Confirmation students in 2018. All bonded together as they worked together with joy and excitement to prepare for their sacraments by the end of the year and become full members of the Church.

Participants, families and participants were filled with joy and united in these holy activities, and the sacramental life at St. Martin de Porres Parish in Milwaukee was enhanced in supporting its mission.

All look forward to 2019 to spread the Gospel and Love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
