The mission of the Martin House is to help some of the poorest people in one of the poorest parts of Trenton, the Wilbur section, earn the American dream - through home ownership and education.
About Us
Martin House is a diocesan inner-city ministry that seeks to offer hope and opportunity to the people it serves by securing housing, education, clothing and appliances.
Martin House also offers services to parishes in the Diocese of Trenton with representatives for Sunday Masses, gatherings and prayer-reflection groups. The purpose of these programs is to involve the people of the diocese in thinking about the pervasiveness of racism and the reorganization of inner-city goals with a humanitarian focus.
