St. Martin’s House is administered by the Board of Managers. This board meets in May and November each year and makes grants to encourage the retreat movement. Their mission statement is as follows:
To manage and administer the income of the corpus of St. Martin’s House funds in order to encourage and support Church conferences, retreats and quiet days primarily through Parishes and secondarily through retreat centers which serve the Episcopal Dioceses of New Jersey and Newark for the purpose of deepening the knowledge of God, spiritual growth and equipping them for what God calls them to do.
The Board of Managers often provides for some portion of the cost of the total project in the following order:
(a) Requests from Parishes in the Dioceses of New Jersey and Newark;
(b) Requests of Retreat Centers that serve Parishes of these Dioceses;
(c) Other miscellaneous requests.
