Saint Martin of Tours

Parish Family 34

The first St. Martin of Tours parish Mass was celebrated on May 3, 1942 in what was known as the Japanese school house. Most of the furnishings were transferred from the disused St. George Indian Mission church to the church location. The pews in the little church were handmade and nailed together with old fashioned square nails, laboriously manufactured one by one by the priests and workers of St. George.

The continual growth of the number of families in this community soon made the tiny chapel inadequate and Father Quick made it his goal to provide more permanent quarters.

Ground for the new buildings was broken on June 29, 1947 and the cornerstone laid on 14 July 1947. The dedication services for the new St. Martin of Tours Catholic Church were led by Monsignor William J. Noonan on Sunday, February 22, 1948 after the last Mass in the Old Japanese school building. Celebrant for the first Mass was Father Quick and Master of Ceremonies was Assistant Pastor, Father George McLean. The senior choir under the direction of John Burke sang the Mass of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in honor of St. Martin of Tours, patron protector of the parish.

In 1989, the school building was repurposed as the local campus of All Saints School.
