Hello, I’m Joe Martin, and I’m honored to serve as the Early Childhood Minister at St. Patrick. In this role, I coordinate our faith formation programs for families with children in pre-K through sixth grade and support the leader of our outreach faith formation program.

My wife, Amy, and I have been parishioners since 1996, and we raised our two children, Meredith and David, here at St. Patrick. Over the years, I’ve been blessed to serve in several ministries, including ACTS, That Man Is You, the Mobile Food Pantry, In God’s Image Disability Ministry, and as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion. These experiences have helped me grow in my relationship with Christ and strengthened my commitment to serving our parish community.

I’m grateful for the strong foundation already in place, and I look forward to working with parents and volunteers to continue supporting the faith formation of our children. It is a privilege to serve our parish and help children and their families encounter the love of Christ.

Please introduce yourself when you see me around the parish. I look forward to getting to know you and serving our St. Patrick family.
