New Hymnal for St. Ambrose

St. Ambrose is pleased to announce that we will be phasing out the Breaking Bread Hymnal and transitioning to a new hymnal in the next few months.  The hard-covered fifth edition of The St. Michael Hymnal will be introduced to our congregation in the later part of the summer.  The broad appeal of the St. Michael Hymnal represents extraordinary sensibilities, theological, liturgical, literary, and musical, and is a resource in a class by itself.  The SMH is expertly edited, supports congregational song,  strengthens the liturgical life of a parish, and will sustain itself in our pews for many years to come.

If you would like to memorialize an edition of the St. Michael Hymnal for a member of your family, for a loved one, or for yourself,  kindly call the parish office at 732 679-5666 or look for the order form in our parish bulletin.   We are asking a $20.00 donation for each memorialized request to cover the printing and cost of shipping.   The fourth edition of the St. Michael Hymnal (the fifth edition is still in print!) will be available on the organ after Sunday Mass if you would like to take a look! All hymnals (memorialized or not) will be distributed throughout the church and available to our parishioners at all Masses and liturgical celebrations.

Law Enforcement
It is important to support their faithful commitment and self-sacrifice given while safeguarding our communities.  We are particularly mindful of the need to come together in prayer and appreciation for our local law enforcement agencies, paying tribute to these fine men and women.

St. Michael the Archangel,
patron of those who serve in law enforcement,
defend us and be our protection
against the wickedness and snares of the evil.

God of all goodness, who through your Son
gave us a marvelous example of service to others
and the great commandment of love for one another,
we humbly ask that you extend your protection
and bless our brothers and sisters
who have dedicated themselves to serve and protect
all the inhabitants of our community.

Please remember all law enforcement in your daily prayers.

"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse  you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. 
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. 
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."
