• Adults and families who are exploring conversion to Catholicism are invited to our OCIA program for Becoming Catholic. We have Inquiry classes year-round from 10:15-11:15am, and our catechumenate program meets at this same time from fall through spring. We have a briefer three-month track of Candidacy classes on Wednesdays from 7-9pm for those who have already been baptized, evangelized, and catechized. See the  OCIA program for Becoming Catholic page for more information.

• Our Religious Education program is open to all school-aged children and youth, and is required for preparation to receive the Sacraments of First Penance & First Holy Communion (2nd grade), and Confirmation (6th grade). Online registration is available on that page. Classes for age 4 through high school meet 10:15am to 11:15am in the RE Building. Parents must drop off their children. All grades are encouraged to attend. Particularly, if you have a child who is of age to receive the Sacraments, please sign your child up for our RE program to prepare.  Our Youth Group is a complement to our RE classes, for those in grades 6-12.

• The Deacon's Table, now continued by Brenda McConnell, offers an opportunity for Adult Faith Formation. Classes meet Sundays 10:15am-11:15am.

• The Nursery will be open (provided staff are available) during these 10:15am-11:15am classes, to care for your pre-school-aged children! (Of course, ages 4 and up are also welcome to join our RE program!)

• The St. Ambrose Catholic Homeschool Co-op, DYM Youth Group, Jubilate Deo Youth Schola, and American Heritage Girls offer additional classes and enrichment for youth.

• Adult Catholics seeking Baptism for their children, Confirmation, Last Rites & Funerals for their loved ones, and Marriage/Weddings, can find more information on those pages. 

• Please make use of our parish FORMED.org subscription to access a multitude of sound Catholic media programs for learning and entertainment for adults and children.

• We have a Catholic Social Teaching resource page with opportunities for you to get involved in faithful study and prayerful action on the many important social issues of our day.

Our parish ministries include educational, liturgical, social & service and charitable opportunities for you to give and receive. See the Ways to Give & Receive Help page to access a listing of our established groups and current needs. Also explore the Ministries menu on our website to find current opportunities for ministry and service.

Many of the beautiful liturgical expressions that we enjoy at the Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul are discussed on our Joy of Tradition Catechesis page, a catechetical library of articles and videos. Fr. Carter's introductory homily on the theme of Joy of Tradition can be heard on this page as well.

Recent and past Homilies are available for your edification, including Fr. Carter's "Clarity is Charity" sermon series. Fr. Carter's Pastor's Notes to the parish are catalogued also.
