Lamberty brings more than 20 years of experience designing and implementing programs based in Catholic social teaching for use on university campuses and parishes across the United States. She has led dozens of immersion trips to Colombia, the U.S.-Mexico border and Israel/Palestine as part of her work for the Christian Peacemaker Teams.

Lamberty earned a doctor of ministry from Catholic Theological Union and graduate degrees from Washington Theological Union and Columbia University.
This announcement comes with profound gratitude for the leadership and work done by Meg Causey, RSCJ, during this last year when our world has been filled with so many challenges. Sister Causey’s expertise, critical thinking, analysis and leadership have enhanced our collective understanding and shared responsibility for the work of JPIC. We thank her for her service and leadership.
