St. Martin de Porres St Martin de Porres is the patron saint of social justice.
We pay tribute to him through our school motto: Faith, Diversity, Learning.
On 3rd November, the Catholic Church celebrates the feast of St Martin de Porres who lived a life of humble service and charity. St Martin was born in Lima, Peru. He grew up in poverty, yet was always giving to whoever was less fortunate than himself.
He joined the Dominican order as a helper and performed his tasks with care and joy. He began to look after the wounded and sick and once healed a priest with the touch of his hand. St Martin de Porres loved all God’s creatures. We remember his compassionate presence, intentional care, and steady faithfulness.
“Be merciful as God is merciful.”
