In the Gospel today, the disciples decide to leave everything to
follow Jesus. We are also called to follow Jesus, who tells us
that “whatever you do to the least of mine, you do for me.”
Your gift to the poor can bring the love and peace
of Jesus to those who live in
fear and doubt, loneliness and dread.

ASH WEDNESDAY
UPCOMING COLLECTIONS -
Archdiocesan Social
Ministries Collection - Each parish of the Archdiocese of
Galveston-Houston does much to address the needs of the
people who live within their area. However, there are many
people whose needs cannot be met by the parish alone. For this
reason the Archdiocese supports archdiocesan-wide social
service agencies like Catholic Charities, San Jose Clinic and St.
Vincent de Paul Society, to name a few.
This collection will take place at all Ash Wednesday Masses and
will be used to support the Archdiocesan Social Ministries. Begin
the Season of Lent by recalling the needs of our neighbors and
offering alms for their benefit. May God bless you for your
generosity.
50TH ANNIVERSARY
DIOCESAN SERVICE FUND
HIS MERCY ENDURES FOREVER”
2016 DIOICESAN SERVICES FUND
Our 2016 Diocesan Services Fund begins next weekend in every
parish throughout the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. Christ
calls us to reach those who are sick or in need, to bless them,
serve them, and show them mercy. The thousands of people
served by the ministries of the Archiocese of Galveston-Houston
need your compassion and generosity. Your kind gift to DSF
enables us to reach out to people in this parish and throughout
the entire Archdiocese through more than 60 important
programs.
All registered parishioners should have received a letter from our
Archbishop, Cardinal DiNardo, along with a personalized pledge
card, inviting you to hear Christ’s promise and that His Mercy
endures forever. Complete your pledge card and return it via
mail in the special envelope provided or bring it to Mass next
weekend. Our parish goal is $72,000.00.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
ATTENTION – LADIES OF ST. AMBROSE
CENACLE SILENT LENTEN RETREAT
Once again our parish ladies are invited to attend a retreat at the
Cenacle Retreat House, 420 N. Kirkwood, just off the Katy Freeway
on Friday, March 11, 2016, 7:00 p.m. through Sunday, March 13,
2016, 1:30 p.m. Relax under the tall, serene pine trees of the
Cenacle. Enjoy your own private room, home cooked meals with
desserts and even a massage, if you so wish. The days are
scheduled with conferences with our retreat master, Reverend Terry
Ryan, CSP, quiet time, private conferences with the Reverend or the
Cenacle staff, as well as free time.
The theme of the retreat is “Women I wish I had met”. During this
retreat, we will be hearing about Etty Hillesum, Dorothy Soelle and
Elizabeth Leseur. These 20th century women offer insights to
experience God that have their roots in the early Christian
mystics—prayer, interior struggle and growth plus reflection on and
response to one’s life circumstances. What do these women have to
say to us today in our relationship with God? Presentations, guided
meditations and handouts for individual prayer and reflection will
be used to facilitate this process.
Rev. Terry Ryan, CSP is a Paulist priest who travels throughout the
US offering workshops, missions, retreats and evening reflections
on the contemplative experience. The great mystics and the
spirituality of the 11th step of a 12-step recovery program all provide
the framework for Father Terry’s discussions of the contemplative
experience.www.fatherterryryan.com
Don’t miss a truly wonderful weekend. Transportation is arranged.
Call Juana G. Sandoval for more information, questions, or
reservations at 281-451-4812 or 713- 688-0702..

Our volunteers recently visited several families who needed
assistance. As we were visiting with them, it became obvious
that they were struggling getting to the other ministries. They
knew they needed to do this to get the other funds they needed
but they did not have gas money. When we offered them a gas
card to help them, they teared up and almost cried in gratitude.
One young man jumped up and clicked his heels together in joy!
These gas cards let them know we are willing to go the extra mile
for them! Our Christ like love is being expressed through our
efforts. It is because of your love for those in need that we are
able to do this and we are so grateful to you! Thank you!

Nuestro Fondo de Servicios Diocesanos del año 2016 comienza

enfermos o necesitados, para bendecirles, servirles y mostrarles
misericordia. Las miles de personas que reciben servicios de los
ministerios de la Arquidiócesis de Galveston-Houston necesitan de su
compasión y generosidad. Su amable contribución al DSF nos da los
medios para ofrecer asistencia a las personas de esta parroquia, así
como por toda la Arquidiócesis por conducto de más de 60 importantes
programas.
Todos los feligreses registrados recibieron una carta de nuestro
Arzobispo, el Cardinal DiNardo, adjunta a una tarjeta de compromiso
personal, invitándoles a escuchar la promesa de Cristo y que Su
Misericordia Es Para Siempre. Ore sobre su compromiso para el DSF
del año 2016, después llene la tarjeta de compromiso incluida, y
regrésela por correo en el sobre especial suministrado , o llévela a Misa
el próximo fin de semana. Si usted prefiere, visite la página internet
