On Palm Sunday afternoon at 3pm we  will host the Inter-Church  Service to commemorate the Lord’s Passion. It will take place on  the forecourt of the church, weather permitting. Please try to come along.

Preparations for Easter:

Praying with Scripture: The last in the series of talks led by Srs. Anne Marie & Phyllis will take place on Tues 7 April at the Evron Centre from 7.30 to 9pm. The theme is “Prayer in our Time”. All are welcome.

We will hold a Talk/Reflection on the  background of the Passion Story on Wednesday 1 April in the Sacristy here at St. Ambrose. This should hopefully  help us to appreciate it more.
