Rosary for Priests and Seminarians
2026-01-16 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.

Adult Faith Formation Program
Developed by Dr. Bob Schuchts, Healing the Whole Person is our foundational teaching at the John Paul II Healing Center. It is the fruit of both his own personal healing journey and over 30 years as a marriage and family therapist.
15 years ago, Dr. Bob began working through Healing the Whole Person with seminarians in formation and they were blown away by the amount of transformation and healing they experienced. Knowing that more people needed to hear this message of healing, the JPII Healing Center began offering the course to priests, religious, and laity.
Today, it is bringing transformation to bishops, religious communities, families, marriages, and individuals throughout the world.
Now, this transformative teaching is available to you—to discover at your own pace, wherever you are in the world.
In this course, you’ll begin a journey to spiritual, physical, and emotional wholeness—entering the sometimes hidden places of the heart, facing pains and woundedness, and experiencing a deep encounter with the authentic healing love of Jesus Christ.
Who is it for?
This teaching is for anyone desiring wholeness, freedom, and an encounter with a loving Creator. If you’re looking for a deeper understanding of God’s love and the healing of your own story, you’ll fit right in.
This teaching has transformed the lives of people from all backgrounds and walks of life:
– Catholic & non-Catholic
– Married, single, divorced, & widowed
– Young adults & grandparents
– Laity, religious, & clergy
Some are aware of deep trauma that only the love of the Father can heal, others are simply looking for a deeper relationship with Jesus.
Some have been in therapy and are seeking more, while others have stumbled upon healing and are overjoyed to discover this integrative approach.

Children's Liturgy of the Word
2026-01-17 16:30 - 17:30, 2026-01-18 09:00 - 10:00, 2026-01-18 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.

Centering Prayer
2026-01-20 16:00 - 17:00 | Off-site
Centering Prayer
Every Tuesday, beginning September 9th (except for holidays) | 4:00 – 5:30 pm | Pat’s Home* (very near the church)
*Address will be sent after registration*
If you are searching for a prayerful time of silence with the Holy Spirit…
If you desire to deepen your relationship with God…
If you want to rest in the presence of the Holy Spirit without the need for words…
Perhaps Center Prayer can offer you that silent, prayerful time, along with the method and discipline to build the desired relationship.
This method of silent prayer prepares us to receive the gift of contemplative prayer, prayer in which we experience God’s presence within us, closer than breathing, closer than thinking, closer than consciousness itself. This method of prayer is both a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship.
Center prayer is not meant to replace other kinds of prayer, but rather adds to the meaning of all prayer. The source of Centering Prayer is the indwelling Trinity.
Pat Romanovich will lead the sessions. Pat holds a Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Cleveland State University and a Master Professional Catechist Certification from the Diocese of Cleveland.
For more information, contact Pat at 440.666.2939.
