Come Experience God’s Tender Forgiveness

The Sacrament of Reconciliation (commonly called Confession or Penance) is the method given by Christ to the Church by which individuals are freed from sins committed after receiving Baptism.
Other opportunities for Confession:

Our monthly Reconciliation generally occurs on the first Wednesday of the month in the Church from 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm. We have many priests during this time to hear individual confessions.
Confessions for the homebound or those who cannot make it to the Church can be made by appointment, please contact the Parish Office at 330.460.7300.

DOWNLOAD Examination of Conscience Cards HERE
Are you unsure if you’re able to receive God’s tender forgiveness through Reconciliation? Visit our Sacraments webpage to determine if you’ve taken all of the right steps or reach out to us by sending us an email. We welcome all to the Family of God.
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.”
–John 20:21-23

Feast of the Holy Family & Family Blessing at Masses
2025-12-27 - 2025-12-28 | Saint Ambrose Parish, 929 Pearl Rd, Brunswick, OH, 44212
Family Blessing – Bring Your Family to Mass
December 27-28, 2025
The Feast of the Holy Family is a celebration not only of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, but of every family, as they are the patron and perfect model for all Christian households. Their love, unity, and trust in God inspire us to invite Christ more deeply into our own homes.
We warmly invite you to join us at any of the Masses the weekend of December 27–28, when we will offer a special Blessing for Families. Come together as a household to pray, receive God’s grace, and renew your commitment to growing in faith, love, and holiness—just as the Holy Family did.
The Feast of the Holy Family offers us a good moment to reflect on our own family life. Take some time to look to the Saint Joseph Relief in the Church. It helps outline the recipe to nurture a strong, holy family. In the different panels you see the importance of strong and steady parents. You can see the power of forgiveness and unconditional love.
As Joseph mentored the child Jesus, parents mentor their children in life and, especially, in the ways of the Lord – and the work is not done as parents until you are called home to Heaven. Use this Feast to reflect on the Holy Family and your family.

Baby Jesus Prayer Service, Benediction, and Birthday Party

We are called to spend time in front of the Baby Jesus in the Manger in prayer, adoration, thanksgiving, and praise between Christmas and the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. This is a perfect opportunity to do so!
The Knights of Columbus, with the Legion of Mary, and Infant of Prague invite everyone to an evening of Prayer in front of the Baby Jesus in the Church starting at 6:30 pm, followed by Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament in the Chapel at 7:30 pm, and ending with a Birthday Party for the Baby Jesus with cake and ice cream in the Mother Teresa room starting at 7:45 pm.
We spend time with family, friends, and relatives eating, drinking, exchanging gifts during the Christmas Season. Why not give the present of our presence, in a show of love, prayer, adoration, thanksgiving and praise of the Baby Jesus to whom we owe everything!
Come Let Us Fill the Church in Love and Adoration of the Baby Jesus!
Come Let Us Adore Him, O Come Let Us Adore Him, Christ the Lord!
