Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, even so I send you.” And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”

Advent Family Retreat
“Best Advent Ever” come and create a toolkit for the best family advent ever!
November 22 | 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Advent is a time of preparation, but it often gets bypassed, and the culture moves right to Christmas. Don’t get swept up on the hustle and bustle and miss this special time of preparing our hearts for the Christ Child’s coming.
To help you do that we have a special family retreat planned. Families will bond together while they create an advent log similar to a wreath, so you can adorn your home or dinner table and mark the weeks of Advent by lighting a candle.
Families will also connect while working together to make a family rosary.
We will also enjoy a lovely catered meal. We hope you will set aside time to join us on November 22nd at 5pm for the this special time for families.
Cost is $25 per family. Please RSVP.

2025-12-02 | Saint Ambrose Parish, 929 Pearl Rd, Brunswick, OH, 44212
#WeGiveCatholic to Support 12 Days of Christmas
Give on Giving Tuesday + Volunteer for 12 Days of Christmas!

Tuesday, December 2, 2025…a Day of Giving!
The 12 Days of Christmas Ministry funded by #WeGiveCatholic provides 12 days of gifts to individuals who have experienced a hardship during the past year. Your donations help these individuals and families that are in need of a little extra of God’s love, care and kindness this season.
During the 12 Days leading up to Christmas, we have volunteers “adopt a family” and help deliver these random acts of kindness. It’s simple… it’s fun… and most importantly, it’s significant in the life of someone in need!
Click to Give
GIVE A GIFT THAT CAN’T BE BOUGHT… LET’S GIVE HOPE!
Volunteer to be a 12 Days of Christmas elf! It’s simple… it’s fun… and most importantly, it’s significant in the life of someone in need! Can you help? We provide the gifts, the address, everything you need – you just deliver them to the families. What a wonderful opportunity to give back and be reminded of the TRUE reason for this Christmas season.
Please contact Lisa at Lhomady@stambrose.us if you are interested in volunteering or would like more information.
Are you a past 12 Days of Christmas recipient and want to share your story about how impactful being a gift-receiver was during a tough time? Please email Rebecca Kaaikaula with your story. Sharing your great story is just as special as the gifts you received from the 12 Days of Christmas!

What a beautiful sight to see all the different age groups and ministries involved in making each gift. I was deeply touched every day. It was like my own little earth angel throughout the Christmas season. – Past Recipient
