We are “simply blessed!” In this autumn season you will see, hear and sing this phrase – this acclamation – over and again. We are simply blessed by a good – and gracious – and generous God.

Please take some time to review this Annual Report. The information and the numbers are an expression of your goodness and the great good we do together at Saint Ambrose.

Letter from Father Bob:

Dear Parishioners of Saint Ambrose,

Happy Autumn!!   I am writing this on Sunday evening after a full – blessed – weekend at Saint Ambrose.   In a wonderful way, our campus was filled with faith-filled, meaningful, service-minded, and community building events and programs all weekend long.   It’s really no different than every other weekend.   Even more, it is a sign of God’s grace and blessing.  It’s a sign that our parish is alive and doing great work for the Lord.   It’s also a reflection of your goodness and your continued dedication and support to our parish community.  God bless you.

This past weekend our Parish Finance Council spoke at all the weekend Masses to express their (and my) great thanks to you for your continued financial support to Saint Ambrose.  Your generosity to the Lord, and our parish community, allows us to support a thriving parish, maintain our campus and facilities, and ensure that we continue to take care of those in need.    God bless you… over and again!

Here are a few highlights from their message and the Annual Report:

  • We welcomed 145 children in Baptism;
  • shared in 43 weddings; and
  • stood in support of about 140 families who commended loved ones to God.
  • We are a parish community that is prayerful and offers so many opportunities and Masses so we can keep our lives centered on Christ.
  • We also support thriving parish ministries that care for our young people,
  • offer hope to so many in their difficult times,
  • are blessed with a thriving Saint Ambrose School and Littlest Angels Preschool; and
  • over and again gather our community together for fun, friendship and community.

A few highlights from the fiscal year:

  • We ended the fiscal year on June 30, 2023 in the good. Thank you!!
  • Over the past year, we have been able to return money to our savings that we used during our Church renovation.  God bless all who have and are fulfilling their pledges and using the building fund envelopes.
  • So many of our families are using automatic giving in support of our parish which saves the cost of mailing and, more importantly, offers consistent support to our community.

Thank you so much!  Take some time to review the Annual Report enclosed with this mailing.  It paints a picture, more radiant than the autumn leaves, of the blessings of God and the good we do together at Saint Ambrose.   So many, like you, are giving, sharing, helping and serving our parish community to a special place – centering point – for so many.

We are simply blessed.  My prayer, every day, is that God will bless you and keep you in His care.   Thank you so much for your support and all you do for our Lord and our parish family.

Father Bob Stec
