Something for Everyone!
Weekly Offertory Gifts: Volunteers Needed!
Are you being called?
God calls us to serve in many ways. Saint Ambrose invites families to “bring up the gifts” at Mass.
The presentation of the gifts marks the beginning of the second major part of the Mass: the Liturgy of the Eucharist. This preparation has been traditionally called the offertory since the priest prepares the gifts to be offered.
During the mass, the offertory involves very simple gestures. Families will pick up the bread and the wine from the table in the back by the sacristy. Then, they will bring the gifts forward to present to the priest to be brought to the altar. After giving the gifts to the priest, it is customary to bow to the altar before returning to your pew.
Do not be afraid! In presenting the gifts, you are carrying the very bread and wine that will be changed substantially into the Body and Blood of Christ.
If your family feels called to bring up the gifts at Mass, sign up below!
On your sign up date/time, please sit in reserved sitting. There will be a reserved sitting sign 4 rows up from the offertory gift table on the right side of the main aisle.
Baby Bible Time with Caregiver & Me
Baby Bible Time with Caregiver & Me1st Monday of the Month October – May (2nd Monday in January) | 10:00 am – 11:00 am | Fr. McGivney in Lehner Center
For Children ages 0-4 and their caregivers. Non-Parish members are welcome too.
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.
