Men’s Fellowship is based on a series of topics on how to be a Catholic Man in the World today. This is not a Bible study, but discussions that are focused mainly on issues of concern to men in the ordinariness of their everyday lives. The series is firmly rooted in Sacred Scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. These sessions cultivate fun and build friendships within the community. We learn from one another how to be a better husband, father, son and a single adult.

Rosary for Priests and Seminarians
2025-10-10 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.

Children's Liturgy of the Word
2025-10-11 16:30 - 17:30, 2025-10-12 09:00 - 10:00, 2025-10-12 10:30 - 11:30 | Saint Ambrose Parish, 929 Pearl Rd, Brunswick, OH, 44212
Children’s Liturgy of the Word (CLOW) starts on September 6 and 7!
We all know young children can have trouble sitting still during Mass.
At CLOW, held during our 4:30 pm Saturday Mass and on Sunday at our 9:00 am and 10:30 am Masses, they can listen and ask questions while we discuss the readings and Gospel. It’s amazing to see them engage!
The priest will invite them to come forward after the Opening Prayer, receive a blessing and head to the chapel with our catechist.
They’ll return right after the homily…giving you a chance to really listen, too. Children receive a take-home activity sheet which enhances the weekly lesson from the gospel.
No need to sign up! Just tell your children and grandchildren about CLOW and encourage them to join.
Would you like to learn more about becoming a CLOW catechist or aide? We’d love the help! Please email Kathy Saffron.
