Deacon Michael Martini, his wife Kathy and their children Christopher, Katie and Andrew have been parishioners at Immaculate Conception for over twenty years. He was ordained to the Permanent Diaconate in June of 2010.  

His Cornerstone experience, both as a witness and team member, inspired his vocation to the Diaconate; and he credits Monsignor Andrew Szaroleta and Deacon Joe Campbell with nurturing that vocation. Michael co-chaired the Immaculate Conception Pastoral Council Formation Committee and was the founding President of the Pastoral Council. He was one of the original members of the committee that succeeded in opening a school at Immaculate Conception and he served on the initial School Advisory Committee. He also co-founded the Children’s Liturgy program.

An attorney by profession, Michael represented the parish before the Clinton Township Planning Board, obtaining the necessary approvals for the construction of Immaculate Conception School as well as our cemetery and mausoleum. Michael also served on the Catholic Charities Citizen’s Advisory Board for Hunterdon and Warren Counties and he is presently a member of the Diaconate Formation Council for the Diocese of Metuchen and the Catholic Charities Solidarity Team.

Michael is Chaplain to several ministries in the parish, including Cornerstone, Altar Servers and the Welcome Committee. He holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Pace University, a Juris Doctor from New York Law School and a Certificate in Diaconal Ministry from The College St. Elizabeth. He is Division Counsel at K. Hovnanian Title.
