Kneelers
The Saint Ambrose Needlepoint Ministry
The Episcopal Church Women (ECW) supports the Saint Ambrose Needlepoint Ministry. The seven cushions were designed by Ann Sauls depicting Saint Ambrose and six Black saints: Saint Monica, Saint Augustine, Saint Cyprian, Blessed Henry Beard Delany, Blessed Anna Julia Cooper, and Blessed Pauli Murray. Church member Vanessa Harris transferred those designs to canvas and painted them. Each cushion depicts a saint connected to Saint Ambrose or the history of The Episcopal Church. The center of each cushion has a symbol that represents the saint, including the name and feast day associated with the saint. There is a honeycomb edging. The borders have bees and beehives, historic symbols of Saint Ambrose of Milan. The Saint Ambrose cushion needlepoint was done by Emily Cadogan, Angela Mitchell, and Valerie Young.
The center kneeler of Saint Ambrose of Milan is 4ft7in x 1ft x 4in.
The Most Rev. Michael Curry blessed the center kneeler at the church sesquicentennial anniversary, December 16, 2018.
