Adult Faith Formation programs are scheduled throughout the year. They consist of speaker nights, book groups, retreats or various other activities that offer parishioners an opportunity to grow in their relationship with the Lord Jesus and with each other.

Christ Renews His Parish (CHRP) is a spiritual renewal process designed to bring members of our parish together in Christ. The CHRP process begins with a renewal weekend at the Parish (one weekend for men, one weekend for women) which runs from Saturday morning through Sunday afternoon.

Children's Liturgy of the Word (CLOW) program is held during the Saturday evening 5:30PM Mass and during the Sunday morning Masses at 8:30AM and 11:00AM from September to May. The children leave Mass to hear their own Liturgy of the Word in the Gathering Area with an adult catechist and return to their families at the Offertory of the Mass. This program is for children 4 to 8.

Service Ministries

Delaware Valley Food Bank located in Lambertville serves the area of New Hope and Lambertville. St. Martin of Tours Parish, under the direction of St. Martin’s Cloak Ministry, takes up two food collections each year, one in the Fall and one in the Spring. We also have containers in our Gathering Area for weekly donations to the food bank. If you are interested in supporting this food bank, please feel free to drop off non-perishable items in the containers in the Gathering Area or participate in the semi-annual food collection.

St. Martin’s Parish has a cemetery that is located behind the New Hope Borough buildings and the police station in New Hope. Semi-annually the members of our Cemetery Care Ministry clean up the grounds of the cemetery of any old flowers, arrangements, sprays and displays. If you are interested in being a part of this ministry, please contact the parish office.
