Who We Are

St. Norbert and Our Lady of the Brook Parish is a Roman Catholic community in north suburban Chicago, rooted in our early missionary history as well as our enduring spirit of ministry and service.

We rejoice in our parish life that includes over forty active ministries dedicated to liturgy, faith formation, support and care, outreach, and community life. We take pride in our ecumenical spirit, embracing our interfaith families and sharing our OLB Worship Center with the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church community and the Shir Hadash Congregation.

​We recognize that the challenges faced by the Divine Word missionaries who founded our parish in 1899 are the same challenges we face today: building disciples, providing a place of worship and faith formation, encouraging prayer, creating a parish family, ministering to the needs of the community, and spreading the Good News of Jesus.
