Parish Mission Statement

We St. Ambrose Cathedral parish of the Diocese of Des Moines are a diverse community of the rich and poor, disadvantaged and hungry,  young and elderly, visitors and those seeking refuge. We are a Eucharistic community of many cultures. We strive for unity in our diversity by expressing our love of God through prayer and worship, justice and service, the ministry of welcoming, and  through catechesis, evangelization and ecumenism. We pursue this mission faithfully by following the example of Jesus Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit and the gifts and talents of our faith community.
