Walking with Others in Faith
One of the greatest ways to live our faith is by caring for others. Whether through prayer, presence, encouragement, or compassionate service, the Care & Prayer ministries at Saint Ambrose offer meaningful opportunities to walk alongside those who are experiencing illness, grief, hardship, or loneliness.
Each ministry is rooted in Christ’s call to love our neighbor, bringing hope, healing, and the presence of our community to those who need it most. We invite you to explore the ministries below and discover how your gifts can make a difference in the lives of others.
Healing Prayer Ministry

Communion for the Sick and Homebound
Bringing the Eucharist to those unable to attend Mass
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion extend the care of our parish by bringing the Eucharist to parishioners who are sick or homebound. Through prayer, conversation, and Holy Communion, volunteers help those unable to attend Mass remain connected to Christ and the Saint Ambrose community.

Pro-Life Ministry
Pray for protection of every human life.
Prayer is at the heart of the Saint Ambrose Pro-Life Ministry. Parishioners are invited to pray for the protection of unborn children, support for mothers and families, healing for those affected by abortion, and greater respect for the dignity of every human person. Through faithful prayer, we entrust all life to God’s loving care.
