St. Ambrose Parish Picnic

I love parish picnics. They are a time of great fun, fellowship and enjoyment. They also remind me about the original version of the parish picnic—the generosity of God shown in the feeding of the five thousand on five loaves of bread and two fish. We’re reminded that the Eucharist itself is a meal in which we are fed and nourished in our souls for meeting the joys and challenges of life.

We’re also reminded how abundant our lives really are.

  3. I remember going to a parish picnic in the 1950's at George Washington Park near Mtn. Dell Golf Course. I don't think it was completed; neither was the park for that matter because all I remember were weeds and heat. However, the first priest I can remember from St. Ambrose - Father Marceau was there, and it was a lot of fun despite the heat and weeds. A pleasant memory from the past.
