Welcome to St. Martha Fish Fry

In a loving, nurturing, Christ-like environment,
 Saint Martha School guides each student to his or her unique ability
 and potential through prayer, study, and service.

Saint Martha School, the school you can trust to give your child an excellent education in a faith-filled and nurturing environment!

When Saint Martha began, our founding pastor knew that creating a school would bring life and excitement to the parish. Today, as you walk through our halls and listen to the caring, joyful voices of our students and teachers, you find that the Love of Jesus Christ is at the center of our daily life and interactions.

With students in Preschool through 8th grade, Saint Martha School provides a safe and dynamic Catholic environment where your child can excel in his or her faith and academic journey!

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (Ages 3-6)

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a hands-on approach to Faith Formation that allows children to discover God and His love for us. This child-centered, child-directed, soundly traditional method of introducing children to the Mystery of God allows the children to work with materials doing things like setting up the Altar for Mass, retelling Bible stories using hands-on figurines and dioramas, dressing a priest in vestments, spending time in prayer, and so much more!

Sessions for Level 1, children ages 3-6 are offered on Sunday mornings from 9:50-11:00 am. Sessions for Level 2, children ages 7-9 are offered on Sunday mornings from 11:15 am until noon.  

1st Through 6th grades

We use the Spirit of Truth series for grades 1 through 6. This curriculum covers the breadth of the Catechism in a rich and age-appropriate way, to connect with students of diverse backgrounds and differing familiarity with the Catholic Faith. While it is important for our students to understand the Faith, Spirit of Truth is designed to help them internalize the Faith and apply it to their own lives, providing ample opportunity for them to reflect on how everything they are learning applies to their own lived experience.

All sessions for grades 1 through 6 meet for Whole Family Catechesis about once a month. Families are expected to attend all of these sessions. These are actually the most important classes as they build community as well as give a great example to our children of their parent's relationship with Christ! These classes are offered on Sundays from 9 to 9:50 am, or on Wednesdays from 6 to 7 pm.

7th Through 12th grades

It's not too late to register.

The Saint Martha Council of Catholic Women (CCW) exists to unite the women of Saint Martha Parish for the spiritual, social, and educational enrichment of its members and for the welfare of the Parish community.

HELPING THOSE IN NEED IN MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP AND OKEMOS

Members of our parish form the St. Martha Conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and have a mission to help people within our parish boundaries who find themselves in temporary need of assistance, typically of a one-time nature.

Members of our Conference visit the family or individual requesting assistance in order to verify the need and determine the type and amount of assistance we hope to provide.

Parishioners can contribute to St. Martha's St. Vincent de Paul Society by selecting the St. Vincent de Paul fund in the drop-down in online giving, contributing in the designated St. Vincent de Paul envelope, or via the lock boxes by the votive candles in the Narthex. 

Council meetings are held the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month immediately following the 10 am Mass in the Bl. Solanus Casey Room from September through May, and once per month in June, July, and August. If you are interested in helping within the Council we enthusiastically welcome new members and ideas!

Come to one of our Council meetings or call the parish office for more information.
