"'Catholics have a responsibility to minister out of our gifts and experiences', says Deacon Lambert. For him, that means responding to the lack of mental health resources in the church.
'My oldest daughter has a mental illness,' Lambert says. “'And after she was diagnosed one of the first things my wife and I did was look to the church for mental health resources. But there weren’t any, especially not in Chicago. And as we met others who were concerned about the same need, we decided we had to do something.'”
