In union, O Lord, with your faithful people at every altar of your Church, where the Holy Eucharist is now being celebrated, I desire to offer to you praise and thanksgiving.
I remember your death, Lord Christ; I proclaim your resurrection; I await your coming in glory.
Since I cannot receive you today in the Sacrament of Your Body and Blood, I ask you to come spiritually into my heart. Cleanse and strenghten me with your grace, Lord Jesus, and let me never be separated from you.
May I live in you and you in me in this life and in the life to come. Amen
What is a Synod?
“Synod” is an ancient word in the Tradition of the Church whose meaning indicates the
path along which the People of God walk together. It also refers to the Lord Jesus and to
the fact that Christians, His followers, were originally called “followers of the way”
What is the aim of this Synod?
The aim of the Synod is to discern how we are “living the faith” and how, we as a Church,
are achieving this together. A fundamental aspect of the Synodal Process is to listen to.
what the Holy Spirit is saying to the Church and by answering one fundamental question:
“How does this ‘journeying together’ take place today on different levels, allowing the
Church to proclaim the Gospel and what steps is the Spirit inviting us to take in order to
grow as a synodal Church?”

At St. Ambrose Catholic Church, we don’t think of ourselves as a congregation of parishioners; we are members
of our church family. As with any family, we are made up of individuals. Look at us and you will see the faces
of African-Americans and immigrants bowed in prayer; listen to us and you’ll hear the cadences of the Caribbean
and Africa mixing with the accents of Maryland, traces of the Carolinas, Georgia (and maybe even Kansas) as we
lift our voices in praise.
We are bound together by our faith. We know that no matter how hard or easy the road has been or promises to be,
the hand of God is always guiding us as we strive forward. We believe in God’s goodness because we see it in our
lives each day, and as we give thanks for our blessings, we know that they are not ours alone.
This church is our home, and every home belongs to a neighborhood. As individuals and as a church, St. Ambrose has
grown up in Park Heights, and we “don’t forget where we’ve come from.” We have broken bread, baptized our children,
married, and buried our loved ones here. Just as this neighborhood has sheltered our church and allowed us to grow,
we recognize our need to give back to our community and to remain connected to this neighborhood.
We love our faith, we love our church – we know we’ve got a good thing going and we are eager to share it with others.
Come and join us – we’re just waiting to say, “Welcome to the family.”
Saint Ambrose Parish Mission is to live and fullfill the Gospel ofJesus Christ through our Acts of Love, Kindness, and Hospitality.
