How You Can Help

Alumni, students and friends of St. Ambrose University can begin supporting the center for the study of Saint Ambrose of Milan in these ways:

Get the Primer
Rev. Robert "Bud" Grant PhD has published a primer on Saint Ambrose of Milan, which is available for $15 in the St. Ambrose University Bookstore. The publication, which is signed by the author, is composed of a series of heavily illustrated and brief narratives. Historical timelines, photos and maps-even a "letter of reference" for Saint Ambrose-enhance the reader's experience and understanding of our patron saint.

Ambrogio di Milano Medallion
A limited edition medallion designed by Donna Young '82, owner and lead sculptor of Isabel Bloom, features Saint Ambrose of Milan holding a book and Christ the King Chapel. Only 300 are available and all are signed by the artist. Cost for each medallion is $200, with all proceeds going to fund the Center. They are available for purchase in the St. Ambrose University Bookstore.

Travel to Italy with the St. Ambrose Alumni Tour
After a successful alumni tour of Italy last winter, Fr. Grant will once again bring a group of alumni and friends to Rome, Assisi, Florence and Milan this summer. While the upcoming trip is full, additional tours will be offered in the coming years. Watch the alumni website for details or contact the office to express your interest.

Make a Gift
Consider gathering a group of friends together and making a pledge, which can span over a number of years, toward the center's endowment. Monies raised will go toward the academic research and scholarship happening at St. Ambrose, as well as to financially support students wishing to engage in research at the Academia in Milan. To make a gift, contact Ryan Brant '02 MCJ, major gift officer, at 563/333-6285.
