A Leer from Fr. Jack: I would like to extend my thanks to all
those who supported our First Annual Italian Night, held
at St. Ambrose on Friday, February 6. Unfortunately, I was under the weather and unable to aend, but all the praises keep
reaching me! The food was wonderful, the music was fun, and
the ambiance was very Italian! Any me an event is planned,
it is crical to have energec and reliable people, and we are so
lucky to have a tremendous support team at St. Ambrose. I
would be remiss if I didn’t menon Al & Lorraine Dama (Old
School Catering), along with Linda & Ruthie, who provided the
delicious menu, from appezers to fresh zeppolis at the end of
the night!! …along with delighul and colorful decoraons,
which made you feel like you were in an Italian Piazza! The
menu was enhanced with delicious homemade meatballs, prepared by Theresa Massaro, who kindly stepped forward and
volunteered to parcipate. Our DJ, Richie Failla, (who generously volunteered his services), did a great job geng everyone
up on the danceoor, and our very own Dr. Kadela was a
“strolling minstrel” for the night! I would also like to extend my
personal thanks to Gerard D’Ambrosio and the members of the
St. Ambrose Knights of Columbus, who assisted in every way
imaginable, serving the food and supporng our caterer… truly
a blessing, along with Charlie Fireo and George Grillo for all
their help and hard work during the set-up. Nicole Cruz created
the fesve centerpieces on each table, Barbara Murphy helped
with our table decoraons, Nancy Fireo donated her arsc
talents, and many members of the St. Ambrose Youth Group
and Boy Scouts lent a hand. Lastly, all of this could not have
been accomplished without the eorts of Anthony Cosenno,
our maintenance supervisor. I had a vision of what I wanted
this evening to be and he made it happen. I am very grateful
for his commitment and friendship, and humbled by his willingness to serve. Gathering as a community, laughing with friends,
sharing as a parish, is the true measure of me well-spent, and I
am so thankful to all of those who aended and worked so diligently. I want to make this an annual event and if you missed
this one, hopefully, you will join us in the future. May God bless
you all and, again, my most sincere thanks! Fr. Jack
