Our community life is based on the desire to live a life faithful to Christ and the teachings of His Church. We have a chapel and a chaplain where we are able to center our lives around the Blessed Sacrament. As well as being lay Dominicans, we also have the privilege of having a directory specifically approved of by the Dominican Order for the families of St. Martin's.
Mary Frances Musk is St. Martin de Porres Community's Prioress. She is married to Dennis Musk. She has nine children and three grandchildren. She is the principal of St. Rose school and an instructor at the St. Vincent de Paul School of Religion.

We believe that strengthening the family is the heart of strengthening society.

The main apostolate of St. Martin de Porres is that of evangelization in the spirit of St. Dominic. We accomplish this through our publications which outline the Church's teachings on topics from family life to doctrine. We also work with faithful Catholic Organizations, enabling them to promote the Gospel and a new Culture of Life through the printed word.
