| We are a faith-filled and family
focused African American parish, with a blend of faith family members
from people of African descent. We are committed to providing the
Good News, developing holistic Africentric programs and outreach to
those with spiritual and human needs, as we become a beacon of hope
in our community. We place great emphasis on outreach to families,
particularly our elders, males and youth.
St. Martin de Porres is the second largest African American parish
in Metro Louisville with 473 families and over 1,340 individual
parishioners. Established in 1990 St. Martin de Porres was created
from merging St. Benedict, Holy Cross, and St. Charles churches.
We are located in the West End of Louisville at 3112 West Broadway.
The parish offers 25 different ministries to the community, which
serve as vehicles for holistic outreach offering opportunities for
enrichment for the whole family. The parish prides itself in it’s
Africentric family perspective and it is reflected in every program
and celebration offered. The parish offers a six-week summer program,
which serves to bridge the academic development with arts and Africentric
culture.
If you are in search of an opportunity to live your stewardship,
