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!
Eucharistic Exposition: On the Wednesdays of Lent we will be having exposition
of the Eucharist beginning at 8:30 a.m. and concluding
with Benediction at 7:30 p.m. (after the Divine Mercy
Chaplet). If you would like to spend half an hour or an
hour in adoration of our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament
sometime during the day, please mark your name on the
appropriate line on the sign-up sheets in the vestibule.
Communal Penance Service: The Lenten Communal Penance Service will be this
