Come Worship With Us
St. Martin and St. Rose Catholic Church is a parish of the
Buffalo-Pittsburgh Diocese of the Polish National Catholic Church ,
established in 1897 by Bishop Francis Hodur for Polish nationals, and
became known as the Polish National Catholic Church. Our parish in San
Antonio was established by the religious community of the Samaritan
Ministers, Missionaries and Oblates of Prayer to serve the many needs of
our Hispanic population.
PARISH HISTORY
The origin of St. Martin and St. Rose Parish goes back to November 3, 1981 when a group of Roman Catholic laity, together with Reverend R. Augustin Sicard (an ex-Marianist), began a group of consecrated individuals. This group became known as the Samaritan Ministers and Missionaries, organized in honor of St. Martin de Porres and St. Rose of Lima, two Peruvian Dominican religious.
