We are proud to be an integral part of the parish of St Ambrose. Our parish priest is Father Edward Cain and we work closely with him. We are welcomed into the church throughout the year to celebrate as a school family and classes visit church or invite Father into class to enhance their understanding of topics that they are working on.
Saint Ambrose was the Bishop of Milan and became one of the most important theological figure of the 4th century.
Ambrose was born around 340 A.D. and grew up with his siblings, Satyrus and Marcellina, in present day Germany. It is believed by many that when Ambrose was just an infant, a swarm of bees landed on his face and left behind a drop of honey. To his father, this was a sign that Ambrose would become someone great with a wonderful sense for speaking.
He studied law, literature and rhetoric in Rome, where he eventually received a place on the council as a governor. He remained in this role until 374 A.D. when he became the Bishop of Milan. As Bishop, he donated all of his land and gave his money to the poor. This made him widely popular and often times more politically powerful than even the emperor. St Ambrose was generous to the poor and he considered them not a group of outsiders, but rather those of the united people. To him, giving to the poor was just a repayment of God’s resources, which were intended for everyone equally.
Ambrose passed away on 4 April, 397 A.D.
St Ambrose is the Confessor and Doctor of the Church. He is the Patron Saint of bee keepers, the poor, learning and Milan, and his feast day is celebrated on 7 December.
