Mission: Through our baptism, we, the family of Saint Ambrose Roman Catholic Church, are chosen and called to be the body of Christ.
As a community of faith, we gather to give thanks and praise to God through prayer, worship, and the celebration of the sacraments.
Gifted by God and guided by the Holy Spirit, we continue the mission of Jesus by sharing our faith and reaching out to others in justice, mercy, and love.
Together, we strive to grow stronger in our love for God and one another.
