Clambake 2021 Thank YouDrive-Thru Clambake 2021…
our second drive-thru clambake event
was a great success!
Thank you to all who came through the drive-thru on Sunday,
September 12th…parishioners, family and extended family, local friends and neighboring friends. Your support means so much!
Thank you to our Clambake committee for such great organization, our volunteers who set-up, take-down and all those volunteers who prep, cook, package and serve, and do the many tasks in between. Thank you to our volunteer order takers, money takers, and our volunteers who organize and staff our raffles. Also thank you to our greeters and traffic control volunteers for keeping the drive-thru running smoothly. And thank you to our volunteer who designed and donated our t-shirts!
Volunteers of all ages came together at the Drive-Thru Clambake to serve in so many ways and for that we are blessed and grateful!
Thank you to all who purchased Clambake Club Raffle Tickets. Your generosity and support is greatly appreciated!
Thank you to all who donated toward our Basket Raffle and purchased chances to win one of 10 great baskets, which included the special Fr. Ferland’s Favorite Things Basket with a signed limited edition Drive-Thru Clambake 2020 t-shirt. It was great to have the Basket Raffle back this year!
And thank you to Fr. Ferland for continuing the tradition of the annual clambake…with a drive-thru twist.
The Annual Clambake is not only a tradition at St. Ambrose, but also an example of what makes this such a great parish community. We were so blessed this year to be able to again continue this tradition in a “non-traditional” way!
As fun as the drive-thru has been these past two years, we look forward to the day that we can return to our traditional clambake so that we can spend an afternoon sitting and chatting with our parish family and friends. Until next year!
God’s blessings to all of you! -

Change to Live-Stream Mass Schedule beginning Pentecost Weekend
May 22-23, 2021Beginning this weekend, Pentecost Sunday, we will be live-streaming the 10:00am Mass only from St. James Church.
We are suspending live-streaming of all other weekend masses and weekday masses at St. James and St. Ambrose Churches.
Both St. James and St. Ambrose Churches are open to welcome the community safely back to communal worship. We certainly understand if some of our parishioners are still hesitant to return in-person and if so, we encourage you to participate in the Sunday 10:00am mass virtually on the St. James Office of Faith Formation page. Please know that we are here to welcome you back in-person whenever you feel ready to re-join us.
We thank all parishioners, family and friends near and far who have joined us for our live-stream masses during this past year. We hope that we were able to provide you with some connection to each other and the parishes as we prayed together, apart. -
God Bless You and Stay Safe
May 9, 2021
A message from our Pastor...
We are slowly returning to our daily and weekly pre COVID activities. That is good news. We will do this safely by taking to heart the recommendations and guidelines of our health officials and the assistance of the Bishop’s office.
In the parishes of St. Ambrose and St. James I have asked that ministers serving in the sacred liturgy – Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors, Altar Servers and Ushers – consider returning to full participation on Pentecost Sunday Weekend. Does that mean that we will have everyone returning? Probably not! But I encourage all who can to join us. I want everyone to stay safe and keep proper 3 foot social distancing, wearing of a face mask while indoors for large gatherings, use of the hand sanitizing dispensers at the vestibule of the church and avoiding all unnecessary crowding at the church entrances.
We need to return to our communal worship of the Lord God who is the source of all blessing. I like the way John Newton in the 19th century expressed this need to come to our communal worship:
“Safely through another week
God has brought us on our way;
Let us now a blessing seek,
Waiting in his courts today:
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest.”
May this Pentecost Sunday find our communities expectantly waiting the Lord God to renew the earth with the love, peace
and joy of His Holy Spirit!
