God our Father, you are the source of all goodness and of every blessing under heaven. We give you praise and thanks for the gift of our Catholic faith and for more than 150 years of living and witnessing to that faith in Eastern Texas. We ask for your blessings upon our effort to help secure the future of the Church in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. May your people respond with hope and generosity to our capital campaign, IGNITE: Our Faith, Our Mission. May the sacrifices we make together today bear fruit in lives of faith for generations to come. We ask this through Christ Our Lord.

THE ROSARY “HOLY MARY, MOTHER OF GOD” A prayerful reflection to the Blessed Virgin Mary: The angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary. And coming to her, he said, “Hail, full of grace!! The Lord is with You.” The Angel Gabriel was first to utter this prayer to Mary; which eventually became the “Hail Mary”, the prayer of the Rosary.

During October, the month of the Rosary, our St. Ambrose Catholic Community will have the opportunity to pray this powerful prayer to Mary, Mother of God. Please plan on joining us in prayer which will begin 20 minutes before all Week-end Masses in October.
