4/2/2021 NEWS ITEM:
On this beautiful day, Grades 5-8 of our Faith Formation program joined together for St. Ambrose’s first Good Friday Walk. Fr. Ferland led us in prayer and Matthew Daly guided us as we prayed the Stations of the Cross. Volunteers from each grade carried the cross and led us on our walk through the church and cemetery grounds. As we made our way around the grounds we then returned to our statue of Mary, prayed a station and then continued on our walk praying all 14 stations. We are so grateful to our families who were able to join us this morning. We hope to make this an annual parish event! And we are especially grateful for the donations to Mustard Seed Communities. A total of $811.00 was raised for this most worthy cause that is very dear to our parish. Blessings to everyone involved today. Jesus Christ lives in each and every one of you.
Scroll down to see some pictures from our walk. You can also go to our Facebook page to see more pictures of our walk and our faith formation children (and some parents) carrying the cross. -

God Bless You and Stay Safe
3/19/2021 UPDATE: In-Person Mass Attendance
We continue to keep the health and safety of our parishioners a top priority. As of March 19, 2021, the State has increased the seating capacity for houses of worship to 75%. Our church pews are open. We encourage you to be mindful of socially and prayerfully distant seating. Hand sanitizer is available at the entrance. Mask wearing is still encouraged. Sanitization of the pews and common areas is done after each mass.
We understand if you do not feel comfortable coming to church to worship with us in-person at this time, and as much as we miss you, we want you to feel safe and comfortable. If you are not able to attend mass in-person, we encourage you to continue to worship with us virtually by watching live-stream masses on our Facebook page.
God Bless You and Stay Safe.
Christian charity requires that we protect ourselves and others. Stop the spread. PLEASE WEAR A MASK.

Guidelines from the Diocese of Providence regarding returning to Mass 5/2020Returning to Mass in time of COVID-19
The advent of the novel coronavirus has marked our community substantially over the past two months. Whether directly succumbing to the disease it causes, or experiencing its far-reaching economic and emotional effects, all of us have been affected in some way. In an effort to protect the health and safety of our local communities, especially vulnerable populations, Bishop Tobin suspended the public celebration of Mass in March. This was a painful, but necessary decision in view of the common good. As the state begins its phased approach to re-open sectors of our community, the public celebration of Mass will resume on May 30, 2020, the Vigil of the Solemnity of Pentecost. This is a joyous moment for our local Church as we gather again as the Body of Christ. Resuming the public celebration of Mass will look differently than before, given the recommendations of health experts. The following points highlight some of these changes.
1. Catholics will be dispensed from Sunday Mass and Holy Day Masses while public Masses will resume, vulnerable populations, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions are asked to follow the most up to date health regulations and remain at home. There are many who might feel uncomfortable returning to Mass. They, too, have legitimate reason to remain at home. Bishop Tobin has extended the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass and Holy Day Masses until further notice.
2. Access to Mass will be limited in order to prevent risk of infection, attendance at Mass will be limited to a percentage of the church's capacity as specified in the fire code. Some parishes will request a "reservation" or ticket system, or find ways to split up parishioners alphabetically in as equitable a manner as possible.
3. Parishioners will be expected to sanitize their hands immediately upon entry to the church. Likewise, they must wear a mask at all times, with the exception of receiving Holy Communion.
4. Pews will be sectioned off. In order to maintain six feet distance between parishioners, parishes will mark off sections of pews where parishioners can safely sit.
5. Singing will be limited. Because of the risk of infection due to increased aerosolized particles, singing must be limited. Hymnals will be removed from churches.
6. Parishioners will receive Holy Communion in a safe manner parishioners will take off their masks to receive Holy Communion, but the priest or other minister may wear a mask when distributing Holy Communion. The priest or other minister will always sanitize his hands before this time, and whenever he accidentally comes into contact with a person. Parishioners are encouraged to receive Holy Communion on the hand; but another option would be to refrain from receiving Holy Communion and make an act of spiritual communion instead.
7. The church will be sanitized after every Mass to ensure everyone's safety, parish staff or volunteers will sanitize commonly touched surfaces and pews before and after every celebration of Mass.
8.Budget envelopes will be submitted prior to Mass or as you leave. Instead of "passing the basket," a secure receptacles should be available so parishioners can drop off their budget envelopes before or after Mass.
9. Avoid personal contact with anyone the sign of peace remains suspended; physical contact must be avoided at all costs.
10. Those who are sic k must stay home. Anyone who has symptoms of any sickness (even mild symptoms) may not attend the public celnot attendthe public celebration of Mass.
