SACO

St. Ambrose Community Outreach

WHAT WE DO

The St. Ambrose Community Outreach program collaborates with other people of good will to help the less fortunate in our parish and in our community.  Our work is supported entirely by free-will offerings of St. Ambrose parishioners.   


If you know of someone that could benefit from our help, please contact the parish office at 618-466-2921, ext. 4.
 

MONTHLY MEETING

SACO meets on the first Tuesday of every month in the Pastoral Conference Room at 7 p.m. unless otherwise posted.
