Hello! I am Adam Martin, and I have the privilege of serving as the Business Manager for St. Francis Xavier. My wife, Katie, and I have been parishioners at St. Francis Xavier for over 15 years, and we are blessed with four children, Jack, Addy, Tommy, and Drew. We are very active in the parish, youth sports, and community activities. Before joining the parish staff, I taught theology and entrepreneurship at Cathedral High School and worked in accounting and finance. I enjoy spending time with my family,running, walking, golfing, and listening to podcasts and audiobooks. I am always looking for good books and podcasts that challenge me to grow and become a better person. I especially enjoy hearing the stories and experiences of others because I believe we have much to learn from one another. The story of the disciples on the road to Emmaus has always resonated with me. Jesus met them on the road, listened to their story, and walked with them before they even recognized who He was. It reminds me that much of ministry is being willing to walk with people and listen to their stories, while remaining open to finding Christ in unexpected places. What I find most meaningful about working for the Church so far is knowing that every tiny task ultimately helps create opportunities for people to grow in faith and build a stronger community. I am grateful to be part of that mission and look forward to getting to know parishioners across all four of our churches.
