Family Prayer in the New Year
Dear God,
Thank You for new beginnings. For a fresh year’s potential stretched out before me. I want to be found faithful this year in each and every opportunity You bring to me.
Give me the courage to begin again — to overlook the difficulties, to overcome the obstacles and to stay open to the moment as best I can.
As I look to the future, may I reflect on the past and remember the lessons it’s taught me.
Thank You, Lord, for new beginnings. I pray this in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
We have three Christmas gifts for you!
The first is Matthew Kelly’s new book, “Life is Messy.”
It’s a great read…easy and hopeful. Gayle Oboy will be leading a discussion on this book starting on February 2nd. Find details at StAmbrose.us/Adult-Faith-Formation
The second book is a set of daily reflections – an inspiring quote of the day based on the writings of Bishop Fulton Sheen.
For our tech savvy members, download the new and improved SOTE.life (Salt of the Earth Life) from the Apple or Google Play Store. It’s FREE and offers lots of great reflections and daily inspiration at the scroll of the thumb. More details below!
The third is a magnet and bookmark with some daily to-do in 2022!
Hang it where you will see it most. Start small and create beautiful habits that will come naturally to you. You will surely see the presence of God at work in your life! Make 2022 your year!
Pick them up in the back of the Church!

As the disciples asked of Jesus, so our hearts have the same desire. Join Father Andrew for a three-week series on personal prayer. Grow in confidence in your identity as beloved sons and daughters, in your trust in relating to and receiving from God in prayer, in your knowledge of scripture as a foundation for this relationship and dealing with obstacles to growing your relationship with God. In-person sessions will be in the church.
Please register at StAmbrose.us/Teach-Us-to-Pray.
Synod Conversations
Join Dobie Moser!
A few months ago Pope Francis asked every Diocese and every parish to participate in an experience of synodality – of holy listening. He hopes this will stir the power of the Holy Spirit and help our Church discern the pastoral and spiritual needs of the Church.
We will be having three listening sessions in January. Parish Leaders will come together on Saturday, January 22 at 9 am. Everyone is invited to join on Sunday, January 23 at 1 pm or Monday, January 24 at 7 pm.

House Blessing
On the Feast of the Epiphany, our Catholic tradition calls us to have our homes blessed.
As the Magi came from afar to visit the Christ Child, the priests and deacons would like to come to your home to share the gifts of God’s presence and protection to you and your family.
If you would like to have your house blessed, please register using our online form.
You can also download this prayer to follow along with and bless your home as a family.
