Being of service brings us closer to Christ
We hope to inspire others to know Jesus by offering our time and talent to each other, our parish and those in need outside the Saint Ambrose community.
Opening Our Hearts to Families in Transition
Did you know that one of the very few family shelters in our area nearby is on the campus of Guardian Angels Catholic Community in Oakdale? It is Hope for the Journey Home [HJH] where up to seven homeless families at a time can stay in the former rectory of the parish as they search for permanent housing. Volunteers can cook or serve an evening meal or stay overnight in a private room. Saint Ambrose parishioner Norb Tennessen is one of the volunteers who collaborates to support the shelter. If you would like to know more about HJH and volunteer opportunities, you can contact Norb at [email protected] or text or call him at 651-230-8944.
Advent Giving
Please visit the Advent giving table in the Commons before and after Masses on November 6th & 7th and November 13th & 14th.
