Birmingham Rotaract

The elderly population is often under served and overlooked.  The Rotaract Club volunteers every 3rd Wednesday at St. Martin’s in the Pines, a comprehensive retirement community.  Each month, Rotaractors will spend time interacting with residents of the Assisted Living facility.  Activities include, but are not limited to, playing card games, reading, and computer tutorials.   Please register online to participate in this service opportunity.

About St. Martin’s in the Pines

Fifty years ago, the Rev. David Cady Wright, rector of St. Mary’s-on-the-Highlands Episcopal Church, was concerned that many of his parishioners would not have a dignified, comfortable retirement. It was Rev. Wright’s pastoral concern which gave St. Martin’s its beginning.

This commitment has been one reason for our continued growth. In 1957, St. Martin’s began as a retirement residence for 80 residents. Today, we’re a comprehensive retirement community, with a skilled nursing center, an assisted living facility, a secure Alzheimer’s community Evergreen at St. Martin’s, and a four story retirement apartment building. And we’re moving toward the future with an exciting new way to provide skilled nursing care, The Cottages at St. Martin’s.

But as we’ve grown, on thing remains constant: our mission to meet the physical, social, and spiritual needs of each resident. Because St. Martin’s physical and spiritual growth is still guided by the Episcopal Foundation of Jefferson County, our residents and their families can count on a sense of comfort, security, and personal worth. Although the religious orientation of St. Martin’s is Episcopalian, residents of all denominations are welcome.
