St. Norbert and Our
Lady of the Brook Parish,
also known as the Catholic
Community of Northbrook,
announced the
placement of a new pastor
last month.
The parish welcomed
Rev. Chris Gustafson,
along with his boxer, Blue.
He replaces Rev. Bob
Heinz, who completed
his term of 12 years at the
parish.
Gustafson grew up on
the southwest side of
Chicago, one of seven
children, who is now an
uncle to 15 nieces and
nephews. He is a graduate
of the University of
Notre Dame, Chicago-
Kent College of Law and
the University of St. Mary
of the Lake (Mundelein
Seminary).
In his 24 years of priesthood,
he has served at
Sacred Heart Parish,
Winnetka; St. Christina
Parish, Mt. Greenwood;
Church of St. Mary, Lake
Forest; and most recently
at Our Lady of Ransom
Parish, Niles.
On Sept. 11, Gustafson
offered some words of reflection
on “Our Shared
Mission as Disciples of
Christ.”
