St. Martin De Porres Catholic Church began in August 1970 when Cardinal Timothy Manning established a new parish in Yorba Linda. Today, St. Martin De Porres has an abundant variety of parish ministries and organizations that work together to challenge, impact and empower everyone in the community to live the Good News of Jesus Christ.

The purpose of the St. Martin De Porres – Emil Vena Academic Fund is to provide academic support to underprivileged families as directed by the pastor at St. Martin De Porres.
