He earned his B.A. in Philosophy and Theological Studies from St. Joseph Seminary College and is happy to continue his theological studies at Aquinas Institute in St. Louis. He enjoys hiking, gardening, cooking and being a member of the WhoDat Nation! Br. James Martin professed solemn vows on May 24, 2019, and was ordained to the transitional diaconate on May 16, 2020.
Fr. James Martin currently serves as the Parochial Vicar of St. Peter Church.
