  • Father Stanley Martinka 1928 - 2011

    Through years of tireless dedication and example, he managed to inspire not only the family that came to love him as their own, to not only inspire the less fortunate in this world that they have a champion, but to inspire in those who saw his good works the gifts of compassion, selflessness and true generosity of spirit.... more

  • Fr. Stan was the type of man that touched people in profound and incredible ways.

    Through years of tireless dedication and example, he managed to inspire not only the family that came to love him as their own, to not only inspire the less fortunate in this world that they have a champion, but to inspire in those who saw his good works the gifts of compassion, selflessness and true generosity of spirit.

    To be such a pivotal, charasmatic, talented and inspirational figure, yet remain simple in need, humble in spirit and transparent to the temptation of vanity and self-aggrandizement all too prevalent in those with similar talents - exemplifies something even the best among us can only hope to emulate.

    While I mourn his passing, it brings my heart joy to know that he was of this world, and comfort in knowing that people like him don't just exist in sermon...

  • Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, the creators of “Avatar: the Last Airbender” are readying the next chapter in the animated saga, titled “The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra.” The new series is due out mid-2012 on Nickelodeon.

    “Avatar” and “Korra” take place in a setting that feels as richly imagined as Middle-earth, Narnia or Hogwarts. In this world, some inhabitants are “benders,” each with the power to manipulate one of the elements–air, fire, earth or water–to their will. One person, the Avatar, has the ability to master all the elements–and thus bring balance to the land.

    “This one is 70 years into the future and takes all the elements of bending from the first series and evolves it and takes it one step further,” Cyma Zarghami, President of the Nickelodeon/MTVN Kids and Family Group, said of “Korra.”
