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:  Certification DID YOU KNOW? The Diocese of Salt Lake City requires all adults (18 years old and older) and youth minors (12 to 17) in contact with or around minors and vulnerable adults in our parishes and schools to complete trainings and background checks. Recertification of these trainings and background checks are every three years for adults and every year for youth minors. This is just one of the efforts undertaken by our diocese to protect our children and vulnerable adults. For more information about child safety in the Diocese of Salt Lake City, click here.
