Healing Hearts

Healing Hearts Grief Ministry
February 10 – March 17, 2026
Tuesdays, 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm

Children may have a difficult time to process emotions and feelings surrounding the loss of a loved one.
It can be tough for them to talk about these feelings or know what to do with them. While we can’t spare our children the pain of loss, we can try thoughtful and hopeful activities focused on God’s love.
Healing Hearts is a 6-week program designed to help and support children and adolescents who have lost a loved one and will focus on bringing hope, healing and joy to your child.
Please contact Jennie at JPorco@StAmbrose.us or 330.460.7317 or Rachel at RButtitta@Staschool.us to RSVP.

Rosary for Priests and Seminarians
2026-02-20 09:00 - 09:45 | Saint Ambrose Parish Chapel, 929 Pearl Rd, Brunswick, OH, 44212
Rosary for Priests and Seminarians
Every Friday | 9:00 am – 9:45 am | Chapel
Jesus established His Sacred Priesthood at the Last Supper when he instituted the Holy Eucharist and told His apostles, Do this in memory of me. Since the Last Supper, men of every age and time have been chosen by God to stand in Jesus’ place, in persona Christi, to offer sacrifice to God and to pray and intercede for the faithful as He did.
The Sacred Priesthood of Jesus Christ is inseparable from the Eucharist and absolutely vital to the life of the Church. Each and every priest needs the love and support of each and every member of the faithful. Let us turn, then, to Mary, Queen of the Clergy, and join with her in praying for her priest sons, the Priesthood of Jesus Christ.
