My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

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.
