About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The Saint Martin de Porres Catholic Parish was founded in 1895 as the Saint Columba parish when Reverend Walter P. Gough was chosen by the Archbishop to found the parish at 24th and Lehigh Avenue. A small edifice was dedicated on April 28, 1895, and shortly thereafter a Rectory and a Parochial School was built. The current church was built in 1906 and consecrated in early 1907.

Father Gough died in September 1920 and was buried in front of the Rectory under a Celtic memorial cross.

In 1993, the church became the Saint Martin de Porres Parish as the result of a consolidation of the Parishes of Most Precious Blood of Our Lord, Saint Columba and Saint Elizabeth.
