Biographical / Historical
St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church was formed in 1990 by combining the parishes of St. Ann Catholic Church with St. Teresa Catholic Church.
St. Ann Catholic Church was established on July 3, 1898 at the corner of Forest and Bancroft. Reverend John H. Muehlenbeck was appointed the first pastor. A three-story building was built on that lot with a church on the first floor, a school on the second and a hall on the third. A second school building was built in 1899. A second Church was built in 1924 at the same location because the size of the original was no longer sufficient to house the growing congregation.
St. Teresa Catholic Church was formed in 1913 to accommodate the overcrowding at St. Ann. Father James Higginbotham was appointed as the first pastor. The first services were held in a rented store in 1914. A two-story wood frame school building was built in 1914 and the cornerstone for the church was laid in 1915.
After the two parishes combined, services were held at St. Ann. Parish council members from both parishes chose the name St. Martin de Porres for the new parish.
