My name is Jose Martinez and I currently serve as the Director of Family Evangelization. I am married to a beautiful soul named Joelle and she is a holy gift from God. We have a wonderful son named Josef and though most parents will say their children are special, Josef has truly received gifts of virtues beyond our understanding.
I am very excited to serve the families at the parishes of the Winton Wyoming Pastoral Region. The Lord has place in my heart a passion for building the domestic church. As Director of Family Evangelization, my focus will be to assist families in forming their domestic churches within their homes. St. John Paul II states, “The Future of the World and of the Church Passes through the Family” (Familiaris Consortio). My hope to help families understand that this statement was a direct message to them, and I will do what I can to assist in helping them develop the confidence and the knowledge to build their domestic church.
When I am not serving the Lord, I enjoy hanging out with Joelle, Josef, and our dog Buddy. Whether that be on an outing or just spending quality time at home, this is where I live out my vocation as a husband and father and where I find my peace. I find no better satisfaction in life than when immersed in a moment with my family. I have many saints that I look to for knowledge, but one scripture passage that gets me through life, “Be still and know that I am God!” (Psalms 46:11)
