Saint Martin Magazine
Saint Martin Magazine is a monthly publication of Dublin's Saint Martin Apostolate. Its title is in memoriam Martin de Porres, while its intention is "to instruct and encourage" while partaking of the act of self-support financially.[1] It is often cited alongside such august (and older) publications as The Universe, The Catholic Times, The Catholic Herald and The Irish Catholic.[2] Saint Martin Magazine is edited by Diarmuid Clifford. Design in recent years has been credited to Patricia Hope.[3] First appearing in print as Blessed Martin Magazine in November 1952 (Martin was canonized in 1962 by Pope John XXIII), it came at a cost of fourpence.[1] From 1962 until 1991 it was known as Saint Martin de Porres Magazine and its International Standard Serial Number under this title was 1393-1032.[4] It adopted the title Saint Martin Magazine from 1991 onwards.[5] Saint Martin Magazine comes as a small booklet and can be purchased in Irish post offices and churches, as well as by subscription.[1] It is often referenced in other print publications in Ireland.[2][6] In mid-2017 it became available online for the first time.[7] Saint Martin Magazine features articles on such areas as diverse as world events, health (under the title Medico) and gardening, a Lectio Divina, stories, photographs, a section featuring answers to questions submitted by the readership or encountered during other work, and a section called Echoes (which treats of some historical or etymological event - sometimes related to the time of year)[8] as well as a monthly editorial and opinion pieces.[1][9][10] Its articles are sometimes published by other sources.[11] It also carries vocations advertisements.[12] Copies of Saint Martin Magazine from decades past are held at Trinity College Library, including from its time as Saint Martin de Porres Magazine.[13][14] It is also held by the British Library.[5] References
