ST.AMBROSE

Saint Ambrose Parish was established on January 4, 1948. The name of the parish was chosen by Bishop Hunt to honor St. Ambrose, the early Church’s learned and scholarly Bishop of Milan, and because his Episcopal coat of arms contained a beehive, both symbolic of Ambrose’s eloquence, and also the symbol of the State of Utah. The Patronal feast of the parish is December 7th, commemorating the day St. Ambrose was consecrated bishop in 374.

​

Our parochial school, J.E. Cosgriff Memorial Catholic School, accepts students toddler through eighth grade. The mission of J.E. Cosgriff Memorial Catholic School is to guide our students to become respectful, responsible, and productive citizens through quality academic instruction that is grounded in Catholic teachings and tradition.

​

We also have Religious Education classes for all children from 3 years old through twelfth grade (post-Confirmation in eighth grade). Parishioners of all ages enjoy opportunities for Faith Formation—from celebrating the sacraments, to meeting God in new ways through various ministries, to growing in faith with other adults in our parish through small groups and speaker events.

​

We have many active ministries—so there’s always somewhere to get involved. Interested in learning more or becoming a member? Contact us.

Safe Environment:  Help Create a Safe Environment – Get Involved

Parents and guardians play a key role in the success of parish programs for young people.  Parents and guardians who are involved in parish programs and events will be in the best position to protect their own children as well as all the children in the parish community.  Involvement and communication are important factors in helping to ensure safe environments for all of our children.  Please contact Lynn Rohland at paroff@xmission.com or e-mail the Office of Safe Environment at safeenv@dioslc.org with questions.
