Father Lambert
I was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo on Christmas Day, the 7th of 10 children consisting of 6 boys (two half-brothers) and 4 girls. My mother passed away when I was 7. My Dad was a sheep farmer who taught me how to be a Christian and gave me the faith.
I excelled in school receiving a Doctorate Degree inPhilo sophy (Metaphysics and Ethics) from the Catholic University of Congo and the Catholic University of Louvain (UCL) in Belgium. I then earned another Doctorate Degree in Theology specializing in environmental Ethics and Bioethics at the Catholic University of Leuven (KU Leuven) in Belgium. I worked as a postdoctoral researcher, and a professor in the Congo, Belgium, and Canada. I subsequently went to the University of Notre Dame for my research and presenting academic papers. I am the author of books and articles of various subjects
including, ethics, politics, technology, disability, philosophy and theology. I supervised bachelor students, master students and Ph. D. candidates.
Always, in the back of my mind while achieving success in education and teaching, was the thought of serving God in a more direct and fulfilling way. I was in Ottawa at the time, writing my 4th book, when I discovered on-line Pope Saint John XXIII National Seminary
in Weston. This Seminary is geared toward candidates aged 30 and older from various professional backgrounds. I entered Pope St. John in 2015 and was ordained a Transitional Deacon on June 10, 2017 after serving my pastoral year at Saint Bartholomew’s Parish in Needham. As a Deacon, I was assigned to Saint Cath-
erine’s Parish in Westford and Saint Anne’s Parish in Littleton. I was ordained a priest on May 19, 2018 by Cardinal O’Malley, at the Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, popularly known as, The Mission Church.
I consider myself as a world citizen, beyond cultural borders. I like singing and smiling. I used to play soccer. I enjoy watching tennis and I am still learning about American football and baseball. I will also continue to improve my English; your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
I like to pray and bless God’s name for the gift of life that helps me to be who I am. I have learned a lot thanks to the Catholic Church and now I am serving the Church as a priest. It is for me a kind of thanksgiving to the Church, and therefore to God, for all the benefits and blessings I received from Him.
I was assigned to Saint Agnes and Saint Athanasius in Reading until May. I am now assigned here to Saint Martha Parish and to St. Mary Parish. I am happy to minister to you here in Plainville and Wrentham with our pastor Fr. Joseph Mozer.
