I hope and pray you had a wonderful, blessed weekend.

Here at Saint Ambrose, this weekend was a another great example of the goodness of our members and the blessing of our parish community.

Almost 200 families responded to our Generations of Faith Appeal this weekend at Mass.  An additional 50 have committed to pray and return their pledge to the Church this week.  The response and goodness of our members is both humbling and inspiring.

As I shared at all the weekend Masses, this is an extremely important project in the life of our community.  We all need and use the Church to center our lives and find the wisdom, strength and grace we need each day…each week…all our lives.  It is the House of God – it is our home.

The effort to repair and update our Church will require the support of ALL our members.  It’s OUR Church.  It’s the House of God that has been entrusted to our care.

Please join the 628 who have responded to this important appeal.  Take some time this week to review the information that was sent to your home; it is also available on our parish website (www.StAmbrose.us/vision2020).  We really need to hear from you!  Please join our other members in making a thoughtful and meaningful gift to God.

The commitment you make is between you and the Lord.  Whatever your decision/commitment, please let us know so we can proceed with the needed plans to repair/update our Church to serve all of us now and for generations to come.

Our members have responded with soul-stirring generosity and goodness.  We really need to hear from YOU…please respond this week.  Again, this is so important to our parish.  We need to hear from all our members.

Be assured of my prayers and thanks to God for you and our community.   May we work together for the Glory of God and the renewal of the House of God at Saint Ambrose.

Have a blessed week.

Father Bob Stec
