TRANSFER AND CHANGE OF PRIESTS AT ST MARTIN’S
Dear Parishioners and Friends,
As the new diocesan assignments for priests were made public last weekend, we want you to know about the changes if you have not heard it from last week’s announcements.
As the six-year pastor term of mine comes to an end on June 30 at St. Martins, I am assigned as the Judicial Vicar of the Diocese of San Jose effective July 1, 2024. Bishop has appointed Fr. Celso Singson as the new pastor.
After completing his six-year term as parochial vicar at St. Martin's, Fr. Generoso Geronimo will be moving to his new assignment as Pastor of St. Justin Parish. Fr. Tony Famave, parochial vicar at Holy Family Parish, San Jose is appointed as the new Parochial Vicar at St. Martin’s effective July 1.
It has been a rich and an exciting journey being the pastor here at St. Martin's. Your support and dedication during my time here has been great. I thank you sincerely. I will carry great memories from St. Martins.
With gratitude and requesting your prayers,
Fr. Saju

Pray for those who will receive
their First Holy Communion
One of the greatest gifts God has given to us is the Sacrament of Jesus' Body and Blood. Through the gift of Eucharist, we are intimately united with Jesus and with the community.
Receiving Communion for the first time is a very momentous time for a child or an adult. Our children who will soon receive their First Holy Communion have been doing preparation for these last seven months, and next week they will come to the table of plenty, not crossing their arms on their chest anymore. They will receive the Lord through this holy Sacrament of Eucharist on May 4th and 5th.
Let us all offer prayers for these children, that by receiving the gift of Jesus in the Holy Communion, they grow in love for Jesus and appreciate this gift as God’s gift of salvation.
