Read the Saint story with your child and have them color the picture below

St. Martin de Porres

Martin was born in Lima, Peru. His father was a Spanish knight and his mother was a young black woman of Panama.

His father abandoned the family, so Martin grew up in poverty.

At the age of 15, Martin applied to join the Dominican Convent of the Rosary and became a Dominican brother.

Martin had a devotion to Our Blessed Mother and to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.

When he was 24, he was put in charge of taking care of the sick at the convent. It was then that miracles began to happen.

Martin would treat the sick by bringing them healing with only a simple glass of water.

He also had the gift of bilocation, meaning he could be in two different places at once.

His love for animals inspired him to set up a hospital for cats and dogs.

St. Martin is often pictured with a broom since he considered all work to be holy, no matter how small the job.

St. Martin de Porres, Pray for us.
