“We beheld the Angel, holding a chalice in his le� hand with the Host suspended above it, from which some drops of blood fell into the chalice. Leaving the (Host and) chalice sus-pended in the air, the Angel lay prostrate on the ground be-side us and made us repeat three �mes:”
“Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I offer Thee the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity
of the same Son, Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for all
the sacrileges, outrages, and indifference by which He Himself is offended.
And through the infinite merits of His most Sacred Heart, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conver-
sion of poor sinners.”- The Angel of Fa�ma
May 27, 2018 Feast of the Holy Trinity
“The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are chil-dren of God, and if children then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ…” – ROMANS 8:16-17
If we are heirs to the kingdom of God, shouldn’t we work to build up His kingdom? Shouldn’t we be good stewards of our inheritance, using our �me in prayer, our talent in charitable works and our treasure to care for the Church that God has le� to us? Our Church is a treasured heirloom from God. Do we treat it that way?

St. Ambrose Parish
As President Dwight Eisenhower said, “it is well for us to pause, to acknowledge our debt to those who pay so large a share of free-dom’s price”. As we stand in grateful remembrance of their contri-bu�ons, we invite you to thank these men and women for keeping us safe through their heroism and efforts. Today, say a special pray-er for them, their families and loved ones. Be sure to take the �me to say “thank you”, or give a warm handshake to an ac�ve duty sol-dier or veteran. Most especially, please remember to pray for: Danny Vorsky Nicholas Stragazzi Peter Guarraci Anthony Service Ma�hew Kaplan Michael Sanzone Michelle Cordova Fred Grospin Timothy Pitak
SACRAMENT OF THE SICK: If anyone is seriously ill at home, please no�fy the parish office. Do not wait un�l your loved one is at a cri�cal point. The hospital visits are covered by each hospital’s own chaplains. Our priests are assigned to Old Bridge Hospital for Tuesday and Wednesday.
BAPTISM: The 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month at 1:30pm. Prior a�endance at an instruc�on session for parents is required. Call the Parish Office to make arrangements as early as possible.
SACRAMENT OF PENANCE: Saturday: 4:00 – 4:45pm or by appointment.
MARRIAGES: Arrangements must be made one year before the date of marriage.
“Quo Vadis” discernment retreat will be held this summer for young men throughout our diocese (ages 14-17) that will focus on prayer, inten�onal discipleship, fraternity, and recrea�on.

SPRING CALENDAR RAFFLE
Congratula�ons to Dolores Waskis, our calendar raffle winner for May 20th. Tickets are $20 each and affords you the chance to be entered into a weekly drawing of $500.00 for 12 weeks. Tickets may be pur-chased a�er Masses and at the parish office during business hours.
Buying a Grave Plot?
In an ideal situa�on, everyone would have a pre-planned funeral that included the purchase of a gravesite. Grave plots can range in price, depending on loca�on, and most plots start around $1,000.00. However, most of us do not prepare for our funeral in advance, and this can some�mes result in confusion and finan-cial burden for our loved ones. If you have the foresight and desire to pre-plan
your funeral, or are considering buying a grave plot ahead of �me, St. Ambrose Church owns grave plots in Forest Green Park Cemetery in nearby Morganville, New Jersey, the Guardian Angels Section. Upon purchase, a deed is provided to the owner/purchaser and a No�fica�on of Sale is forwarded to Forest Green, essen�ally “reserving” that purchased space(s).
If you are interested in speaking with someone regarding purchasing a grave (single or double plot) at Forest Green/Guardian Angels, kindly call the Parish Office, and we will be happy to discuss any arrangements you may want to make.
Our Saint Ambrose Conference exists primarily to help those in financial need. This is made possi-ble by the generosity of our Pa-rishioners each month. If you or someone you know needs help, please call 732-679-5666. Every-thing is completely confiden�al and we will try to help as much as we can. Also our Food Pantry is
available and fully stocked thanks to the generosity of our Pa-rishioners. If you need food, please call for an appointment.
Father’s Day Gi�
