Community weekend of service is a community ‘blitz’ when we go out and serve the community by the hundreds! From flower beds to garbage removal to gardening, we serve parishioners and community members in need. Our Bi - annual event is scheduled in April and November each year. It’s an easy way to make a big impact in our community

Our monthly community meal provides a free hot home-cooked meal on the 3rd Sunday of every month. All are welcome for the meal and fellowship. Deliveries are available for the homebound. Call the rectory to sign up for meals or deliveries. Volunteers are always welcome; we have a diverse list of jobs that need to be done for each meal. The only requirement is a desire to help our brothers and sisters. We ask volunteers to be flexible and willing to help with whatever needs to be done at the time to help the Community Meal run smoothly. For more information, please contact us

Saint Ambrose pioneered a mission trip to Higuey, Dominican Republic in 2006. We partnered with a poor community devastated by hurricanes and began helping them rebuild. Since then, over 150 people have traveled to Higuey every June and December to build a community center, a school, a chicken coop, est ablish a water system, hook up electricity, and bring much - needed food and supplies to our brothers and sisters in Christ. This lasting relationship has made a difference in the lives of people both in Higuey and right here in Brunswick. Saint Ambrose par ishioners have generously supported our mission outreach through prayers, financial donations, and the donations of clothing, toys and building supplies. Thank you for your generosity!
