About Fr John Walsh OP:

Fr John Walsh is a friar of the Irish Dominican Province. He born in Enniscorthy Co Wexford  in 1980 and joined the Dominicans in 1999. He is the director of the Saint Martin Apostolate, Parnell Square in Dublin’s city centre.

About the Saint Martin Apostolate:

St Martin Apostolate aims to assist Catholics in the practice and development of their faith in their everyday lives. From this it is hoped will come a dedication to the establishment of a society which values peace and justice. The Gospels and the social teaching of the Catholic Church challenges us to act on behalf of the poor and those who are marginalised, like the homeless; to follow in the footsteps of Jesus by imitating his concern and compassion to all we meet.

It was out of mercy and love for his fellow human beings that Dominic founded the Order of Preachers over 800 years ago and today St Martin Apostolate supports them in their work at home and abroad, as well as helping other charities who are dedicated to enabling and enhancing the lives of others less fortunate. Renowned for his intercession for the sick, St Martin continues to inspire and calls us to facilitate the betterment of the lives of our sisters and brothers in Christ.

It is our mission to spread the word of our Lord, Jesus Christ, to spread the words of Saint Martin de Porres, to help others through our charitable works and to raise funds and awareness of the Dominican Order of Preachers
