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.
Below is a list of Ministries in which many parishioners serve.
After reading through them, please feel free to contact the rectory office to discover how you might become involved in one or more of our ministries.
