I am Rev. Saint Martin, a priest of the Diocese of Brooklyn and Queens since 2014. I was born in a large Christian family of eleven children in Haiti. My siblings are Marie Monique and Jacques. In 2021 Fr Julien died. Last year, 2023 Jesula and Marie passed away. My nephews are Sonia, Alies, Samuel, Saint Pierre, Marie Maude, Luckenson, Junior, Luigi, Anaica, Medgine, and Olivier Jacky. My other siblings and my parents are living in heaven with God. Rev. Fr. Julien joined them on October 23, 2021.

I was ordained in Haiti in the diocese of Port-au-Prince in April 1997 through the Saint James Society, a diocesan institute. Three months after my ordination, the church of Port-au-Prince sent me on a mission in Brazil. I worked as a missionary there until September 2002. I left that Society and Brazil. I returned to Haiti. I suffered an accident one week before my flight to Haiti. In 2004, I migrated to the United States of America.

I have offered my humble service in some parishes of the Archdiocese of Port-au-Prince (Haiti), in the dioceses of Brazil at Rio Branco, and in the Archdiocese of Campinas.

While in the USA, I received my master's degree in theology historic at St John's University and four units of Clinical Pastoral Education. I have offered spiritual care at different Hospitals: Elmhurst, Downstate, Queens, Maimonides, St John Episcopal, Flushing, New York Presbyterian Queens, Wyckoff, and Peninsula. I taught an introduction to the New Testament at the College Pastoral located at St Jerome School.  

My skills in computers (software and hardware), cards, artificial flowers, jewelry, rosary, soap, wine, cloning trees, and gardening allow me to be very busy.

According to the Enneagram Personality Test, I am a peacemaker. I am courageous, compassionate, creative, and sensitive. I like people, animals, music, and nature. I believe that the love of the invisible God leads me to the love of people and other creatures. I am concerned about climate change, the environment, immigration, freedom, and misery. 

Fr. Julien left some chicken for me. After receiving this news, I meditated on the passage of the Multiplication of Bread in the Gospel. I was particularly touched when Jesus asked his disciples to feed the hungry people themselves while he knew that they did not have food. The disciples were limited. They asked for help like I am doing today. Good intention matters. Jesus taught them the way to proceed. He took the five loaves of bread and two fishes, organized the people, and prayed to the heavenly Father. People experienced abundant food and had left over for their families. 

Like the disciples, I believe we feed the hungry people in Haiti with the little we have. We can start a poultry project at Bonga, the native place of Fr. Julien and me, and continue to other villages. Everything depends on God and your determination to reduce misery in Haiti and nourish hope in families.
