Saint Martha's Catholic Church

peace be with you

Welcome to Saint Martha's

Saint Martha's is a parish of the Diocese of Nashville located in Ashland City, providing the means of grace for Christians of Cheatham County. We welcome all the faithful, whether living nearby or passing through, for celebration of the Sacred Liturgy.

The parish is pastored by Rev. Fr. Benjamin Butler.

May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar.
Amen.

This program offers a comprehensive, deep-dive into Catholic teaching; bridging the gap between the St. Joseph Baltimore Catechism and college level Theology. This year's study will cover Fr. John Laux's book Catholic Morality, first published in 1928.

Teen & Adult Formation: (13+) - Book based

The sacrament of Confirmation may be received at age 13 in the Diocese of Nashville. Confirmation preparation is one year. St. Martha's Confirmation formation program will study from Chosen: Your Journey to Confirmation by Ascension Press.

The CGS program refers to the classroom as the "atrium." In the early Church, the faithful were prepared for initiation into the life of the Church in a place prepared for the spiritual life.
