About Us

At St Martin de Porres Catholic Church, we are a faith-filled community rooted in the love of Christ and united in service, prayer, and fellowship. Inspired by the humble example of Saint Martin de Porres, we strive to live out the Gospel through compassion, unity, and a deep commitment to caring for one another, especially the most vulnerable among us.

Our parish is a spiritual home where all are welcome, young and old, families and individuals; journeying together in faith under the guidance of Jesus Christ. Through the celebration of the sacraments, especially the Holy Eucharist, we are nourished and strengthened to be the living presence of Christ in our community and beyond.

Grounded in the teachings of the Church and guided by the wisdom of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, we are committed to growing in holiness, deepening our understanding of the Word of God, and living lives of prayer, charity, and service.

As a parish in the heart of Sunnyside, Pretoria, we embrace our diversity as a blessing and seek to build bridges of hope, peace, and unity in our society. With faith as our foundation, we continue our mission to proclaim the Good News, uplift the brokenhearted, and walk together as one family in Christ.

In all things, love and serve the Lord.”
