The Holy Archangels
2029-09-29 | Saint Ambrose Parish, 929 Pearl Rd, Brunswick, OH, 44212
Every September 29, we celebrate the Feast Day of the Archangels — Saint Michael, Saint Gabriel, and Saint Raphael.
Michael, (God’s warrior) was the archangel who fought against Satan and all his evil angels, defending all the friends of God. He is the protector of all humanity from the ‘snares of the devil’. Gabriel (Strength of God) announced to Zachariah the forthcoming birth of John the Baptist, and to Mary, the birth of Jesus. His greeting to the Virgin, “Hail, full of grace,” is one of the most familiar and frequent prayers of our Catholic faith. Raphael (Medicine of God) is the archangel who took care of Tobias on his journey.

Saint Michael is the patron saint of grocers, soldiers, doctors, mariners, first responders, and police. More importantly, he is the Guardian of the Church, as he was shown to be of Israel in the Old Testament (Daniel 10).
Saint Gabriel is the patron saint of telecommunication workers, radio broadcasters, postal workers, and messengers.
Saint Raphael is the patron saint of travelers, blind people, nurses, pharmacists, physicians, and people who are ill.

The Holy Guardian Angels
2029-10-02 | Saint Ambrose Parish, 929 Pearl Rd, Brunswick, OH, 44212
It’s good to know we’re not alone. On October 2, we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Guardian Angels.
The Gift of Our Guardian Angels Reflection:
This ancient belief has roots in Scripture. In Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus implies the special guiding care of the angels. “See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father” (Matthew 18:10). Our guardian angels are given to us by God to protect and watch over us from the moment of our conception until the hour of death. Let’s pray together to our own heavenly help: Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love commits me here, ever this day be at my side to light, to guard, to rule, and to guide. Amen. ©LPi

Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi
2029-10-06 | Saint Ambrose Parish, 929 Pearl Rd, Brunswick, OH, 44212
Saint Francis is remembered for his generosity to the poor, his willingness to minister to the lepers, and for his love for animals and nature. He is the Catholic Church’s patron saint of animals and the environment.
In honor of Saint Francis of Assisi, the blessing of animals shows that all of God’s creatures are cherished and beloved. A blessing of pets is held around the Feast Day of Saint Francis of Assisi, where anyone can bring their animal companions to church (dogs, cats, birds, any animal creature) to receive a blessing and celebrate the special bond between humans and animals.
Our annual Noah’s Ark Pet Blessing is usually held on the Sunday nearest to Saint Francis’ Feast Day. We try to have several vendors with information and services available for your pet, and pets for adoption during this event. Leading up to the pet blessing, our Noah’s Ark Ministry will have animal cages at the entrance of the Church for donation of pet food or gently used blankets and towels to the local animal shelter.
The Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi provides an opportunity to teach children about endangered or abused animals and what we can do to help.

Our Lady of the Rosary
2029-10-07 | Saint Ambrose Parish, 929 Pearl Rd, Brunswick, OH, 44212
The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary is celebrated since the Rosary brings us closer to our Blessed Mother and she brings us closer to her Son, Jesus Christ!
Our Lady came to the aid of Christian soldiers in the Battle of Lepanto, and, later, Pope Pius V instituted a feast in thanksgiving to Our Lady of Victory. Eventually, Pope Gregory XIII changed the name of the Feast to Our Lady of the Rosary to emphasize the power of Mary’s intercession in times of trouble.
During October, which is “month of the Rosary,” our Legion of Mary will have a table at the entrances of the Church with free Rosaries and information on how to pray the Rosary. They invite everyone to join them on Thursdays at 6:00 pm to the Chapel for their 20-minute Rosary Challenge throughout October.
