Martin was born in Germany. His family settled in Mt. Calvary about the same time that the Capuchin Founders settled there. He attended the parish school and was the first vocation from that area.
After ordination, Martin served for four years in Milwaukee, and then, for twelve years, in New York City. He ministered at Our Lady of Sorrows, St. Fidelis, and Our Lady of Angels.
Martin was humorous, witty, and very entertaining. He was well-liked, and his sunny disposition was a great asset for the community. He had a special gift for popular preaching and incorporated examples from everyday life to illustrate the Gospel whenever he could.
Heart failure cut short his days among us, at age 45, after 23 years of religious life. He's found buried in Yonkers.
