The parish is dedicated to providing a welcoming environment for all who seek a closer relationship with God through worship, fellowship, and service. With a history spanning over several decades, the church stands as a beacon of faith, tradition, and outreach in the San Diego Diocese.

At the core of St. Martin of Tours is a commitment to the celebration of the sacraments, especially the Holy Eucharist. The parish offers daily Masses, weekend liturgies, and special celebrations throughout the liturgical year. Parishioners can attend Mass in both English and Spanish, reflecting the diverse and inclusive nature of the congregation. The sacrament of Reconciliation is also available regularly, providing a space for spiritual renewal and reconciliation with God.

St. Martin’s is also dedicated to lifelong faith formation. The parish offers robust religious education programs for children, teens, and adults. Children’s programs include catechesis and preparation for the sacraments of First Communion and Confirmation. For teenagers, the parish provides youth ministry and a confirmation program that helps young people explore their faith more deeply. Adult faith formation is equally important, with Bible study groups, RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults), and other spiritual enrichment opportunities that help parishioners grow in their understanding of Catholic teaching.

Community life at St. Martin of Tours is vibrant and varied. The parish is home to numerous ministries that serve both the spiritual and physical needs of the community. These include outreach to the poor, support for families, and ministries focused on prayer, hospitality, and social justice. The parish is especially known for its commitment to service, with many opportunities for parishioners to volunteer in local charitable efforts, such as food drives, shelter support, and assistance to those in need. The parish also offers pastoral care, including visits to the sick and homebound, ensuring that all members of the community are spiritually supported.

Fellowship is another key aspect of parish life. St. Martin’s offers a variety of social and communal activities, such as parish festivals, potlucks, and special events that foster a sense of unity and belonging. These gatherings provide an opportunity for parishioners to connect outside of worship and build lasting relationships.

Led by a dedicated team of priests, deacons, and lay leaders, St. Martin of Tours Parish continues to grow as a community of faith, hope, and love. The clergy and staff are committed to guiding parishioners in their spiritual journeys and providing pastoral care that meets the needs of individuals and families alike.
