St. Martin's Episcopal Church
Share a story
St. Martin's Church is a congregation that expects excellence in worship and Christian Formation for all ages, pastoral ministry shared with the laity, and effective outreach to the community. We are known as a community of hospitality, and we invite all to share our life together in Christ. We trust that God's guidance and support will continue to lead us, now and in the future.
The mission of the Episcopal Church is to restore all people to unity with God and each other through Christ. At St. Martin’s that mission is expressed through our four guiding principles: Worship, Stewardship, Community, and Outreach.

St. Martin's Monthly Outreach Program
Each month members of St. Martin's focus on different way to reach the greater Jefferson/Orleans area. The Outreach Program was formed in 2012 to provide organized large‐scale opportunities for our congregation to participate in activities that serve the community. Currently, twelve parishioners serve on the Outreach Committee, which meets one Sunday a month at the church.
Among the major activities the Outreach Committee currently sponsors are:
- S.T.A.I.R. (Start the Adventure in Reading) Program;
- Reading Program at Ella Dolhonde Elementary School to kindergarteners and 1st grade students;
- The new Little Free Library (outside the Chapel);
- Book collection and a mailing session for Louisiana’s Books‐2‐Prisoners;
- Quarterly food drives and work days for Second Harvesters Food Bank;
- The Angel Tree Ministry in which parishioners purchase presents for prisoners to give their children;
- Warm clothing collections for folks who need, but cannot afford, winter clothing;
- Service credits for students doing outreach activities
