About this sermon

This video is an excerpt from a DVD that was recorded at St. Joseph Radio in St. Louis Missouri. ABOUT FATHER CHRIS MARTIN " I was born and raised here in St. Louis. My parents are north county natives that moved out to Chesterfield about thirty-five years ago when my sister (child number four) was on the way. I came along two years later to round out our family of seven." "I really felt God calling me to discern the priesthood so I transferred into the Cardinal Glennon College Seminary here in St. Louis. Convincing myself that I could run away from "the call", I left the seminary after only a year and wound up finishing college at the University of Missouri St. Louis." During college I worked as a part-time youth minister, which kept me in close contact with the Church and strong in my faith. Immediately after graduating I re-enrolled in the seminary and began my post-graduate formation at Kenrick School of Theology. Through the grace of God I persevered this time and was ordained in 2006. I have spent the first five years of my priesthood serving as the associate pastor of St. Joseph Parish in Cottleville. In June 2011, Archbishop Carlson appointed me to take over the Office of Vocations for the Archdiocese of St. Louis, MO.
