St. Ambrose Food Bank: The Food Bank is in Desperate Need. The first Sunday of the month is always the time St. Ambrose
parishioners show their generosity by “brown bagging”
donations for the local food pantry. Due to current economic
conditions, more people than ever are turning to the local food
bank, including some of our own parishioners, while the food pantry is struggling to keep up. Next weekend, please
consider bringing a bag of non-perishable food or cleaning
products. Just leave your bag in the vestibule as you arrive for
Mass. Thank you!
