St. Ambrose Catholic Church

Most Italian neighborhoods in American cities were inhabitated by Italian immigrants from the south. St. Louis is different in the fact that it had also a consistent immigration from the north. Hence St. Ambrose church: it's a famous church in Milan, where Saint Ambrose lived (and converted Augustine of Hippo) in the early middle ages.

Lived here almost 75 years, and the church has always been the catalyst for this neighborhood, and one of the few surviving city neighborhoods with it's own church. The parish community keeps this beautiful church in very good condition. A real gem for St Louis. ciao john.

We were visiting from Florida last week. This is a beautiful friendly church community. I look forward to our next visit.
