Opportunities to Serve

"The liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed; at the same time, it is the font from which all the Church's power flows." (Constitution of Sacred Liturgy)

The liturgy is the central and most important action of parish life. 

By baptism, every parishioner is called to a "full, conscious, and active participation" in the liturgy

 Many parishioners are involved in the liturgical life of St. Ambrose parish and serve in the following roles: 

• Readers
• Extraordinary Ministers of the Holy Communion (distributes the Eucharist at weekend liturgies and to the homebound) 
• Altar Server 
• Music Minister (vocal and bell choir, cantor, instrumentalist)
• Minister of Hospitality (usher/greeter).

Please contact the parish office (330-527-4105) to inquire about participating in a particular liturgical ministry.

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.
