The mission statement for the St. Ambrose Parchment Church:

”One family in Christ, called by the Holy Spirit to develop a family of faith in Christ, the people of St. Ambrose Parish embraces Christ's call to know, love, and serve God within our hearts, in our homes, and in our world community”.

We, the Religious Education Team, headed by the DRE and executed by the faithful men and women are here to guide the future people of our church. In Proverbs 16:16, “How much better to get wisdom than gold, to get insight rather than silver.” The understanding that there are very few things in life that can never be taken away, will go out of style, and that truly make you a better person, but an education in the word of God which is timeless and ever useful.

We make a successful program through working with one another to support our volunteers and the children. Remember in Luke 18:16, “But Jesus called the children to him and said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.’” The best teachers for the youth, is you! So, we invite parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles to take an active part in the church. Please consider volunteering in the many church ministries and activities, there is always a place for you!

We are so excited to begin a new year of learning, exploring, experiencing and growing in faith with you and your child. NEW THIS YEAR! 1) All parents/guardians will be asked to serve as classroom assistants or donut duties on a rotational basis. Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated. A signup sheet will be provided by your child's teacher. 2) The best way to teach children about the Mass is to take an active part in the mass. A children's mass will be on the 2nd Sunday of each month at 11:15 AM, during the school year where children will have an opportunity to participate in serving as ushers, altar servers, readers, gift bearers and do the collections. We will continue to work together and make this a great year for our church!

Sincerely in the Lord,

Phuong Nguyen
Director of Religious Education (DRE)
