What makes this selection even more valued is the shared selection of the six Haggerty brothers.

I know my parents and ancestors are watching with pride and joy as we proudly wear the colors of both the Haggerty name and the Irish Channel Saint Patrick s Day Club. Morris Louis (Patrick) Ambrosia Jr. Man of the Year "Well to start, my father and mother married prior to WWII. My father, Morris L. Ambrosia Sr., and mother, Pauline Tortouch became husband and wife in 1940. From there, my Dad and Mom had five kids - Sabastian, Patricia, Vincent, Morris Jr., and Darlene. We were all raised on the corner of Annunciation and Felicity, two blocks from Adele St, which was where the Irish Channel was located. I started school at St. Michael located on Chippewa across from Annunciation Square. I made friends there that are still around like the Haggerty's, Fannings, Powells, Austins, Kellers, Burkes, and so many more. In 1967, I joined the Marine Corp for two years. In the last two months I was in the hospital to bring me back from P.T.S. In 1968 I met my wife, Mary Ann Arbour, and in 1971 we married. Mary Ann gave me four beautiful children - Tina Marie, Toby Sebastian, Patricia Ann, and Mary Ann. All great people. I have three fantastic grandchildren - Amber (student at Southeastern), Kaylee (Senior at Chapelle), and Cameron (student at Rummel). They are the best. My family shares our life with my puppies - Guste, MoJo, and Jazz Mini. My life has been filled with basically one thing, my love for God, Jesus, and the Blessed Mary. To that, I am very grateful. I coached baseball, was president of the Dads Club, and volunteer at St. Rita's School in Harahan for many years. I became a Eucharistic Minister in 1999 which is one of my favorite accomplishments. When Hurricane Katrina came through Louisiana, I volunteered with the U.S. Army to help provide water and C rations while helping remove trees and garbage from people's homes. I am blessed to be Man of the Year for a fantastic group like the Irish Channel St. Patrick's Day Club, truly. When a person is complimented on their achievements, it also includes the people who brought him or her to that point. Thanks Irish Channel for having the people that made me the man I am. God Bless and Good Health to All."
