The following priests have served St. Ambrose with spiritual guidance.
In closing, we remember with special appreciation Monsignor Francis Pokluda who was instrumental in creating the St. Ambrose parish and who served as our first pastor. Msgr. Pokluda was born in 1888 in Moravia, Czechoslovakia and was ordained in San Antonio in 1916. The priest served Texas for over 50 years and came to Wall after spending 30 years as pastor of St. Joseph’s church in Rowena. The monsignor died at the age of 70 on August 26, 1958. It was fitting that the Solemn Requiem Mass was sung at the St. Ambrose Church in Wall for the priest who touched our lives so deeply.
