Noah's Ark Pet Blessing
2025-10-05 13:30 | Hilkert Hall Courtyard, 929 Pearl Rd, Brunswick, OH, 44212
Our annual Pet Blessing will be on Sunday, October 5 at 1:30 pm at the Courtyard (or Hilkert Hall Gym during inclement weather).
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. Please make sure that your pet is leashed or caged for your pet and other’s protection.
We will also have several vendors with information and services available for your pet, and pets for adoption during this event. 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.
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. The Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi also provides an opportunity to teach children about endangered or abused animals and what we can do to help.

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.

Rosary for Priests and Seminarians
2025-10-10 09:00 - 09:45, 2025-10-17 09:00 - 09:45, 2025-10-24 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.

Divine Mercy Cenacle | Morning Session

Divine Mercy Cenacle | Morning Session
Monthly | Second Monday of the Month | 11:00 am
We are parishioners praying for the dying. When our priests go to offer the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, especially for the dying, you will receive an email with the first name of the person receiving the Sacrament, for whom at that time you will pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet. As you are able, pray the Chaplet during Eucharistic Adoration for those who will be dying that hour.
We have small groups called cenacles, which meet…
– to pray for and encourage the vocations of the priesthood and the religious life.
– to also pray and work for an end to the scourge of abortion in the world.
– to experience the splendor of our Catholic Faith through the study of Sacred Scripture and the Catechism and the Diary of Saint Faustine Kowalska.
– to encourage members in the exercise of the Faith through the spiritual and corporal works of mercy, and to help people to become sensitive to the gift and beauty of all life, especially through the care for the “lepers” of today.
