About Us

Fr. J. Lambert St. Rose, by birth a Saint Lucian and at heart a Caribbean citizen, is a passionate cultural protagonist and an avid proponent of inculturation. He holds firmly to the conviction that the bedrock foundation for an authentic Caribbean theology, catechetical curriculum, evangelization plan, and ultimately a Caribbean Church must begin with the people—their culture, traditions, wisdom sayings, music, and popular religious practices.

Despite the darkness portrayed in Earthquake, God remains present among them.

Fr. St. Rose’s heart and soul are gifts to his people. He is truly a people’s person. Their deliverance, redemption, freedom, and salvation are the central occupations of his life. He thirsts for their conversion, spiritual development, and transformation, envisioning their ultimate transubstantiation into Christ, who humbled Himself to share in our humanity so that we might share in His divinity.

A Catholic priest for over forty-three years—with no regrets—Fr. St. Rose offers Earthquake, the sequel to In Turbulent Waters, as a partial summation of his decades of pastoral ministry.

He holds a Master’s degree in Theological Studies from St. Norbert College and the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. He is also a poet and novelist. His published works include two anthologies—Helen and Her Sister Haiti(2011) and Our Father: Prayer and Praxis (2016)—as well as In Turbulent Waters (2014).

With much humility, he presents some alarming realities that threaten to become tomorrow’s popular spiritual devotions—manifest in the bloody human sacrifices now taking place in the open forums of our streets.
