COME & SEE Advent Sundays at Saint Ambrose Parish
In this sacred season of waiting and wonder, we are called to draw near to the One who brings light to our darkness and peace to our hearts.
November 30: Advent XLT at 7:00 pm
Come, we need You now. Come, Lord Jesus – renew our hope, restore our joy, and dwell among us.
In this season of hope and anticipation, we prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ – the One who brings light to the world and love to every heart.
December 7: Advent Prayer Service at 7:00 pm

Come and turn the world around. Let His presence renew your spirit and inspire you to share His peace and joy with others.
In this holy time of waiting, our hearts cry out with hope and longing: Come, Come Emmanuel.
December 14: Advent Prayer Service at 7:00 pm
Join us as we prepare to welcome the Light of the world – to see His presence among us, to feel His peace within us, and to share His love with all.

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
2025-12-06 16:30 - 17:30, 2025-12-07 09:00 - 10:00, 2025-12-07 10:30 - 11:30, 2025-12-13 16:30 - 17:30, 2025-12-14 09:00 - 10:00, 2025-12-14 10:30 - 11:30, 2025-12-20 16:30 - 17:30, 2025-12-21 09:00 - 10:00 and 10 more dates
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.
