Pastoral Visits
Fr. Jason would love to come and visit you. If you would like a visit with Fr. Jason please use this link https://calendly.com/frjason-1 or you can email him at Frjason@stambrosefostercity.org. Now that the holidays are over my goal this year is to meet and get to know the parish better
Choir and Music Directors
Friends, with Frank announcing his retirement I have taken a look over our current staffing for our music directors. The common practice in the diocese is that the choir and music director be the same person. With that said, we our search for a new music director will be looking for a person who can do both organist as well as direct our choir. With that said our amazing Choir director will be leaving us. Her last day will be August 31. I am so thankful to Maureen and Frank for the many amazing years of service to our community.
If you would like to be apart of the search committee for our new music director please let me know. frjason@stambrosefostercity.org
Bayview Mission Outreach for the Summer
Our outreach focus for this summer will be dental supplies for our friends at Bayview Mission. We are collecting toothbrushes, toothpaste (Travel size preferred), floss, and mouthwash (travel size). Please bring in your items and I will transport them to Bayview.
We also have purchased 60 laundry bags for our unhoused friends served by Bayview Mission. Many thanks in advance for your generosity
Sunday School is back!
Teacher Fe and Teacher Raphaele will conduct the class outdoors every week for children Pre-K and up. Class will offer story time, songs, and lots of fun! We are looking forward to seeing your kids, with their big smiles!
