Mission Statement
With the Eucharist as our firm foundation, the mission of St Martin de Porres Catholic Church is to build up the faith of our children so that our families may be a witness of Christ’s divine love.

Welcome, Father Rodel

Father Rodel will be ministering to our spiritual needs for the next few months, until we have a permanent priest assigned to St. Martin de Porres Church. The following was posted on the Blessed Sacrament website where he served a recent ministry as parish administrator.

Rev. Fr. Rodelio Ignacio (but just call him Fr. Rodel) was born in November 1971 in Valenzuela City, Metro Manila, Philippines. He had a rather unusual and very interesting path to the Priesthood, having first studied for a BS degree in Physical Therapy and then had a successful finance career in the garment supply industry in Manila. When he was convinced, God was calling him to be in the priesthood, he entered the seminary and ultimately completed three university degrees (in Theology, Philosophy and Pastoral Ministry). During these years he also kept very busy, serving as Vice President of the Theological Society at the University, helping lead Theological Forums and participating in Conferences on the Ministry of Spiritual Liberation and Exorcism.

Fr. Rodel was ordained a priest on November 15, 2008, by Bishop Florentino G. Lavarias for the Diocese of Iba (Philippines). In 2019, he came to the Diocese of Salt Lake City where he was assigned as parochial vicar of St. Mary Parish, West Haven for a few months, then at St. Mary of the Assumption Parish in Park City and St. Lawrence Mission in Heber City for three years.

Baccalaureate Blessing

Baccalaureate Blessing —If you are graduating from high school or higher education, please let Deacon Joaquin or Father Rodel know so you can be included in a congratulation blessing. These will be on Sunday, the 25th, at 11 a.m. or 1 p.m., at the Spanish Mass .

Golf Tournament

St. Martin de Porres 3rd Annual Golf Tournament, Friday, Sept. 5th at the Ridge Golf Course - We are excited to begin planning our next golf tournament. The previous two have been very successful due to the contributions of many of our parishioners' time and talent. We could use a few more volunteers to be on the committee this year. We don't have a ton of meetings, and when we do, we have a lot of fun! We need people who can help with tracking money, help with promotional materials, help with title and hole sponsorships, help with recruiting players, and items for the auction. If you are willing to contribute to this effort, please contact Connie Gardner at [email protected] 801-673-8284 .
