Women's Council: This award-winning group of dedicated ladies come together to assist in the development of the spiritual graces and the social enhancement of the lives of our parishioners. They promote Christian goals through service to our community and render financial assistance to our church and school through many fund raising activities. They meet once a month for a general meeting and social program in the Parish Center. They also sponsor an Annual Luncheon that is always much anticipated by the entire church community!

Ushers: Ushers perform a very valuable function at all of our Masses.

We encourage all men and women of the parish to consider joining this important ministry!
Eucharistc Ministers: Selected with special Pastoral concern, this ministry serves at every Parish Liturgy as well as visiting the sick and home bound. Reverence for the Blessed Sacrament as well as knowledge of Catholic Doctrine and active involvement in the Parish Community are required for this ministry. Candidates will be interviewed and selected by the Pastor.
Men’s Club: The members of the St. Ambrose men’s club are a great bunch of guys! They work quietly and often behind the scenes performing many important tasks. They take on many maintenance projects that help with the upkeep of the parish. They also provide breakfast for the entire parish one Sunday morning every month during the season. Their assistance to the Carnival has been one of the reasons it is such a huge success every year. Why don’t you become a member of this great group!

Religious Education: An integral part of our parish community is the Religious Education of our young people. Our program includes children from kindergarten thru eighth grades.

Altar Servers: We are thankful to our many fine young people who volunteer as altar servers. Both boys and girls who have made their First Communion may join this ministry.
Parish Ministries: St. Ambrose is proud to be a Stewardship Parish. This means that we encourage each of our parishioners to contribute to the community life of the parish in three areas. God has gifted each one of us with qualities that can help build the Body of Christ, (the Church) to become all that Christ intended it to be. We would hope each parishioner would use their time, their talents, and their treasure to not only build up St. Ambrose, but also to help deepen their own spiritual lives and the spiritual lives of others.
