THIS WEEK AT ST. AMBROSE

The Gift of Parenthood!

Dear friends, on this Father’s Day week-

end I would like to take a moment to say

thank you to all of you parents, mothers and

fathers, for the many times that you show

your children and our communities what a

sacrificial love looks like. Jesus was willing to

give His life out of love for all of us and that is

what you do for your children every day.

May you always know the importance of this

selfless example and may your children al-

ways appreciate what you are doing for

them each day. (Do you hear that kids!)

As a Priest I get to see the pride that parents

have in their children but I also hear the sto-

ries of how you as parents are worried or

heart broken by some of the decisions of

your children but despite the sadness and

pain the love you have for your child(ren) is

never diminished. Your love is truly an exam-

ple of how God loves each one of us. Your

love is what gives us hope! Thank you! May

God continue to bless you as you are a bless-

ing to your family and to all of us.

Peace, Fr. Yvon

Dear Parishioners, I have some exciting news and that is the Parish Council and I have decided that next Sunday, June 24th our 10:30am Mass is going to be celebrated on the front lawn of the Church near

the Statue of St. Mary, weather permitting of course.

Please bring your own chair if possible. This Mass will then flow right into our Parish Picnic as we honor the Feast Day of St. Peter (our Patron Saint) and St. Paul which is celebrated on June 29th.!The Knights of Co-lumbus are providing free hamburgers, hot dogs, rolls,

punch, condiments and paper plates & cups. Please bring a pot luck salad and/or dessert dish to share with the rest of the parish. There will be games for all ages. We hope many of our parishioners will be able to at-tend the Mass & picnic. It should be a fun time for all.

Did you bring your bottle back? The Baby Bottle Cam-

paign ends today, and we’re collecting the bottles to

give them back to the Center so that your change

can start changing lives! Please return your filled and

unused bottles in the box in the back of the Church If

you forgot to bring them this Sunday, you can still re-

turn them next Sunday.
