St. Ambrose Parish

 All the buildings at St. Ambrose Parish Detroit/Grosse Pointe Park sustained significant flood damage early Saturday morning, June 26, 2021. While the worship space proper was spared (and Masses, weddings and baptisms were conducted), the other portions of the parish complex are out of commission as of now.

Flood waters were deep enough surrounding our buildings that they actually poured into the ARK through the skylights! Therefore, all events in the ARK are canceled for an indeterminate period.  Those with bookings should contact Peggy O’Connor at stambrose@comcast.net for assistance. Phone service has been affected, so should you need to get a message to the parish – or if you have a pastoral emergency, use the parish email at stambrose@comcast.net. Or, if you do call the parish office at 313-822-2814, please press “0” and you will be connected to the answering service.

Losses such as this are painful, but they remind us that in this world we need to “Hold Lightly to the Things of This World” (1 Corinthians 7:29-31). Praise to God that there appears to be no loss of life as a result of this occurrence.  Our prayers extend to all our neighbors and those other individuals who have been similarly affected by this epic flooding.
