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 19^th 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!

4/2/2021 NEWS ITEM:

On this beautiful day, Grades 5-8 of our Faith Formation program joined together for St. Ambrose’s first Good Friday Walk. Fr. Ferland led us in prayer and Matthew Daly guided us as we prayed the Stations of the Cross. Volunteers from each grade carried the cross and led us on our walk through the church and cemetery grounds. As we made our way around the grounds we then returned to our statue of Mary, prayed a station and then continued on our walk praying all 14 stations. We are so grateful to our families who were able to join us this morning. We hope to make this an annual parish event! And we are especially grateful for the donations to Mustard Seed Communities. A total of $811.00 was raised for this most worthy cause that is very dear to our parish. Blessings to everyone involved today. Jesus Christ lives in each and every one of you.

Scroll down to see some pictures from our walk.  You can also go to our Facebook page to see more pictures of our walk and our faith formation children (and some parents) carrying the cross.
