"Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?"
He said to him,
"You shall love the Lord, your God,
with all your heart,
with all your soul,
and with all your mind.
This is the greatest and the first commandment.
The second is like it:
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."MT 22:34-40

- Why Offertory Envelopes are important? Placing of envelopes in the collection basket shows our children the importance of supporting the Church. We encourage you to continue giving envelopes during offertory even if you are donating on-line, because evelopes is the best, and sometimes the only way to know your participation in our parish. If you are giving electronically, please check the “I give electronically” on the envelope before dropping them into the collection basket.
"The heart of stewardship is to ask the Lord what He would have me give and how He would have me use His gifts."- Fr. Richard Simon
Ministry of Care
Ministry of Care to the Sick is a pastoral ministry of caring for those
people hospitalized, in nursing homes, or confined to private homes. The ministers are trained and formed to conduct a pastoral visit with time to listen and pray about the concerns of the sick or shut-in person and to share Eucharist with them.
Ministers of care visit the homebound, the sick and those unable to get weekly Mass due to cold and wintery weather conditions. Ministers of Care bring the Holy Eucharist, share with them the word of God in scripture, pray with them for the Church and the world, and offer them companionship. Ministers of Care are a sign of the support and concern our Church has for the homebound.Every member of our parish community is encouraged to help our parish identify and reach out to the homebound, the sick and isolated in our midst. If you, a family member, or someone you know are homebound, unable to attend weekly Mass and would like to receive Holy Communion, a trained Minister of Care will bring you or your family member Holy Communion. You and the lay Minister of Care can decide on the day, time and frequency of the visit (s).If you know of someone who may benefit from a visit by a Minister of care, be a Good Samaritan by helping us to make contact and keep connected those most in need of the support and love of our Christian community, as well as the opportunity to receive the greatest gift we have, the gift of Holy Communion.For more information, please call or email the rectory office at 847-673-5090, email at SaintLambert@aol.comPhoto: USCCB

What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister has nothing to wear and has no food for the day, and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well,’ but you do not give them the necessities of the body, what good is it? So also faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead. - James 2:14-17
