PSR AND YOUTH MINISTRY NEWS
Stories and Scripture Beginning today, Sunday, Nov. 12, St. Ambrose parish is launching a new program for preschoolers and their parents, grandparents, or other caregivers. These once-a-month sessions, using popular children’s stories, provide a way to connect the stories that children love with the world of our Catholic faith. Sessions will be held on Sunday mornings from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. in the JAG Elementary School. All preschoolers are invited accompanied by an adult. For more information or to register, please call the rectory at 330-527-4105.

Animals can be brought to PSR from Nov. 5 through Dec. 17 or placed under the “Giving Tree” in the church vestibule. This project is in memory of Melana Matson.
Pennies From Heaven This year, as in the past, we will be collecting “pennies” to purchase gift baskets for our St. Ambrose homebound parishioners.
