Memorial of Saint Ambrose, bishop and doctor of the Church

• Read about St. Ambrose, the  “fighter of emperors,” who also inspired and guided St. Augustine in his  conversion to Christianity. Learn about this passionate,  scholarly man who willingly stood up for his faith and the Church in the  face of heresy and political challenge.

• Does your parish or workplace have a Giving Tree? Shop for the person or family whose name you picked.

• December 7th is National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, marking the Sunday morning in 1941 when the Empire of Japan bombarded Hawaii's Pearl Harbor. More than 2,400 Americans were killed and more than 1,100 were wounded in that attack.  Remember their sacrifice and pray for the safety of all of our service men and women.
