His appointment as pastor of St. John the Evangelist Parish in Townsend was effective on Jan. 1, 2012 following Cardinal O Malley s letter of appointment of Dec. 6, 2011.
Just a few days before his arrival, a fire gutted the parish center of the archdiocese s most northwesterly parish. Not exactly, the kind of warm welcome Father St. Martin desired, or that his parishioners wished. Nor was it at all like any birthday present he had ever received he celebrated his 39th birthday on Jan. 2. As Father St. Martin knows well God often writes straight with crooked lines.
