Children's Liturgy of the Word
2025-11-02 10:30 - 11:30, 2025-11-08 16:30 - 17:30, 2025-11-09 09:00 - 10:00, 2025-11-09 10:30 - 11:30, 2025-11-15 16:30 - 17:30, 2025-11-16 09:00 - 10:00, 2025-11-16 10:30 - 11:30, 2025-11-22 16:30 - 17:30 (America/New_York) and 11 more dates | 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.

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.

Advent Family Retreat (RSVP Closed)

Advent Family Retreat
“Best Advent Ever” come and create a toolkit for the best family advent ever!
November 22 | 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Advent is a time of preparation, but it often gets bypassed, and the culture moves right to Christmas. Don’t get swept up on the hustle and bustle and miss this special time of preparing our hearts for the Christ Child’s coming.
To help you do that we have a special family retreat planned. Families will bond together while they create an advent log similar to a wreath, so you can adorn your home or dinner table and mark the weeks of Advent by lighting a candle.
Families will also connect while working together to make a family rosary.
We will also enjoy a lovely catered meal. We hope you will set aside time to join us on November 22nd at 5pm for the this special time for families.
Cost is $25 per family. Please RSVP.
