November Poor Box: St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church
In November we support St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church, a mission parish and beacon of hope in their North Philadelphia community.
The parish was created in 1993 with the consolidation of several parishes in North Philadelphia. As a result of the consolidation and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the parish lost many parishioners. -
-
As a mission parish, St. Martin is focused on revival of its parish community through evangelization. Inspired by their patron saint, the parish strives to welcome everyone regardless of race or background and to attend to the needy in their community.
In addition to liturgical ministries, St. Martin provides significant community outreach ministries including a food pantry, various prayer ministries, and collaborates with an IMS parochial school by providing Mass and spiritual support for the students and teachers.
The parish needs upgrades to their worship space, resources to support their new children’s prep program, and support to expand their community outreach.
Please be as generous as you can with both your prayers for St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church and your donations.
Fr. Wilfred, the parish pastor, will be with us on November 8-9 to speak on the parish’s behalf.

Spiritual Adoption Program - Begin praying for an unborn baby
Everyone loves the beauty and innocence of a baby. As an expression of that love, we will begin a program where you can spiritually adopt a newly conceived baby on October 25-26.
Not all babies are allowed to be born, In fact, more than 1700 babies lose their lives to abortion each day in the United States. It is these babies you are being asked to “adopt.” -
-
You may adopt a child individually or as a family by simply picking up a prayer card after Mass. You are asked to pray the prayer on the back of the card for the unborn child daily for nine months.
You can name the child for whom you are praying, giving the baby the humanity he or she deserves. There will be monthly reports in the bulletin describing your baby’s development.
There are millions of unborn babies desperately in need of your prayers. Won’t you please spiritually adopt one and share the love for life that God has given you?

María will guide us to the Stable in Bethlehem to meet strangers and shepherds, an anxious father, a laboring mother, angels, and the Word Himself to hear how we might be called to re-kindle the flame not of Christmas but of the Incarnation.
Bring a friend, wear festive attire, and celebrate fellowship in a welcoming atmosphere. Capture the often-overlooked spirit and peace of the Advent Season. A light supper will be provided. Please bring an appetizer, dessert, or beverage to share.
