SMA's Schoolwide Morning Prayer
Prayer of Jabez for Children
Bless me a lot, God, bless me today.
Help me to risk and to see things your way.
Please take my hand,

WHAT MAKES ST. MARTIN OF TOURS ACADEMY CATHOLIC?​
-
Our commitment to religious education is foundational to our curriculum. All our teachers hold Diocesan religion certification, ensuring high-quality, daily instruction in faith. Each day, students engage in 30-40 minutes of religious instruction and participate in daily classroom prayer, reinforcing their spiritual development.
-
Religious values are seamlessly integrated across all subject areas, and our monthly school Masses provide opportunities for communal worship. Once a month a class hosts a bake sale at a 9 a.m. Sunday Mass. Families come together to worship even if St. Martin isn't their parish church.
-
Our eighth grade attends a retreat at Whispering Winds each fall. Our community outreach initiatives include regular visits to the food pantry for parish assistance, and all grades support the Mission Childhood Association through doing chores for change or Jeans for Jesus days. Social justice is a key focus in all our instruction and activities.
-
Our strong connection with the parish is reflected in our newsletters, calendars, and ongoing communication with families, fostering a supportive and engaged community.
