We, the members of
St. Ambrose Parish, believe that,
through our faith and baptism,
we have been called to give
witness to the values of Jesus as
expressed in the Gospel and
teachings of our Church.

OSEPHGod sets a father in honor over
his children; a mother
’
s authority
he confirms over her sons.
Whoever honors his father atones
for sins, and preserves himself
from them. When he prays, he is
heard; he stores up riches who
reveres his mother. Whoever
honors his father is gladdened by
children, and, when he prays, is
heard. Whoever reveres his
father will live a long life; he
who obeys his father brings
comfort to his mother. My son,
take care of your father when he
is old; grieve him not as long as
he lives. Even if his mind fail, be
considerate of him; revile him
not all the days of his life;
kindness to a father will not be
forgotten, firmly planted against
the debt of your sins—a house
raised in justice to you.
