Dn. Martti had his formation in Freiburg, Germany, and he belongs to the German Province of the Dehonians. Before joining the Congregation Martti studied music and worked as an organist, pianist, singer and choral conductor. For his priestly ordination he has chosen the following, quite Dehonian Bible passage as his motto:
“I am the vine, you are the branches; the one who remains in Me, and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.” Jn 15:5
