Rosary for Priests and Seminarians
2026-01-02 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.

Feast of the Epiphany & House Blessing
2026-01-03 - 2026-01-04 | Saint Ambrose Parish, 929 Pearl Rd, Brunswick, OH, 44212
Feast of the Epiphany & House Blessing
January 3-4, 2026
Epiphany House Blessings
Celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany by inviting Christ into your home through a traditional house blessing.
The Epiphany commemorates the visit of the Magi, who followed the star to encounter Christ and offered Him their gifts. In the same spirit, a house blessing marks our homes as places where Jesus is welcomed, faith is lived, and God’s presence is sought throughout the year.
During the blessing, a priest or deacon will pray with your family, ask God’s protection and peace upon your household, and bless your home for the year ahead. This beautiful tradition serves as a reminder that Christ dwells not only in our church, but in our everyday lives and homes.
All are invited to participate.
Please use the form to sign up for a house blessing for the Feast of the Epiphany.
One of our priests or deacons will call you to schedule a time to bless your home.

God’s Word tells us in Proverbs to train up our children in the way of the Lord. It is never to early to start teaching them God’s way. Science tells us that from birth to (approximately) age six, your child’s brain works like a sponge, soaking up huge amounts of information from the environment. Unlike other story times offered, we will focus on Christian stories from the Bible, Christian songs, crafts, and fellowship. Build the foundation of Jesus Christ early in their lives.

Children's Liturgy of the Word
2026-01-03 16:30 - 17:30, 2026-01-04 09:00 - 10:00, 2026-01-04 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
2026-01-06 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.
