This committee meets monthly for education on current liturgical directives and to prepare for the various liturgical seasons. Members assist the pastor in creating an appropriate church environment in which the worship committee can experience the presence of God. This committee encourages the spiritual growth of the parishioners and works to educate the parish in matters that promote life-giving and prayerful liturgical celebrations.

Throughout the year, this committee offers many opportunities for parishioners to gather for special liturgies and prayer.  Some of them are:

• Advent and Lent Communal Penance Services 
• Mass of Remembrance / Memorial Service 
• Eucharistic Day
• Divine Mercy Chaplet
• Lenten Vespers, Chaplet, and Stations of the Cross
• May Crowning
• Anointing of the Sick
• Blessing of Animals

This group of women join together spiritually and socially to support the church. Meetings are held on the last Thursday of each month (except in December). The evening begins 6 p.m. with praying the rosary, followed by a business meeting and refreshments. 

The Society leads the rosary weekly before Mass, purchases altar bread and wine, assists in the up­keep of the church, acts as hosts for parish functions, donates to charitable organizations, and supports various parish activities.

The Altar and Rosary Society of St. Ambrose will be holding their Rummage Sale on Friday, September 27, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday, September 28, 8 a.m. until Noon (bag day). Donations for the sale can be dropped off at the rectory garage starting on August 25th. They will not be accepting TVs, textbooks, magazines, electronics, or large furniture.
