General Announcements

St. Martin de Porres feast day Mass is Nov. 3 at St. Andrew Church

The archdiocesan Office of Multicultural Ministry’s 10th annual St. Martin de Porres feast day Mass will begin at 6 p.m. on Nov. 3 at St. Andrew the Apostle Church, 4052 E. 38th St., in Indianapolis.

The principal celebrant and homilist of the bilingual Mass will be Divine Word Father Stephan Brown, university minister and assistant to the president at St. Leo University in St. Leo, Fla.

St. Martin de Porres was a Dominican brother who lived from 1579 to 1639 in Lima, Peru. The son of a Spanish nobleman and freed Panamanian slave of African descent, he is much admired by both African-American and Hispanic Catholics.

Those planning to attend the Mass are invited to bring an ethnic dish to share at a reception that will follow the liturgy.
