Welcome from Our Pastor
|
I would like to personally extend a warm welcome to Saint Ambrose parish and school. Our community is filled with friendly faces and open arms to all new parishioners, students, and their families. We are truly blessed to be able to partner with our families on their journey as they educate their children in the Catholic faith. Attending a Catholic school is only one facet of the education within the Catholic church; regular Sunday mass attendance is a vital experience in our faith as it builds the community in Christ and demonstrates the faith formation of service and belonging within our faith.
As parents, you are the primary educators of your children in fostering their spiritual growth. We provide the tools and the opportunities, and you facilitate their development. Saint Ambrose School provides our children with the opportunity to prepare and participate in the sacraments of Penance, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation. We celebrate mass as a school on a weekly basis during school hours and rejoice when we see their eager, smiling faces with you, on the weekends. With Men’s Club, Women’s Club, Bingo, Carnival, and our very own Food Pantry, we offer a faith and service-based community for you and your family to walk with Christ with your time, your talents, or even your treasures. Welcome to Saint Ambrose! |

Welcome from Our Principal
Mrs. Lisa Dodge, Ed.S.
Principal
Ten years ago, I was blessed to have been selected as St. Ambrose Catholic School’s principal. There were many challenges and some struggles to overcome, but I was immediately welcomed, and we all began to work together as a community in making our school a place for our students to realize their full potential, grow in their love for God and the Catholic Church, excel academically, and feel safe.
With all my heart I can say that it is truly an honor and a privilege to be this school’s principal. My 20 years of experience in both the Archdiocese of Miami and within the public school system have allowed me to understand the importance of a shared vision with parents and students to ensure the success of all our students. Over the years, our faculty and staff have gone above and beyond in their vocation as teachers, providing a Catholic learning environment, centered on the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I believe that education is a lifelong process and we embody this vision as a community.
The cornerstone of our community of learners is our Catholic identity. Catholic education centers on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ in the formal educational settings that promote the necessary skills, knowledge, and values to become productive and successful members of society. St Ambrose School recognizes that each child is created by God and every child possesses special gifts and needs which must be addressed in their learning process. As a product of Catholic schools myself, and the parent to two wonderful children who are also Catholic school graduates, the significance of the gift of a Catholic education is paramount to Saint Ambrose School. My greatest joys now include welcoming back our numerous alumni, as they share their successes in their lives after graduation.
I look forward to meeting our prospective families as they seek our community to be their community. Welcome to the Saint Ambrose family!
And to our returning families: welcome back! We thank you all for your continued support and partnership in educating your students in our Catholic school!
