A June 25 gathering flung the doors of St. Ambrose Parish wide open to all, spreading the Gospel through good food and family fun, followed by confession and Mass.
From its first Masses in an old movie theater, to liturgies in parishioners homes and processions though the streets, St. Ambrose in Philadelphia is God s house among the people.
The Northeast Philadelphia parish s anniversary kicked off with a Jan. 16 Mass celebrated by Archbishop Nelson Pérez, who began his own priesthood there.
