Keeping the Faith

After releasing our first CD, Passages, we were encouraged to take our music out to WNY parishes as an opportunity to bring parish communities together for an enjoyable evening of music and celebration of our great Catholic faith.  We began this element of our ministry in 2006.

In 2007, we added a video component to our live musical presentations which we have now entitled "Keeping the Faith".  We don't like to refer to what we do as concerts- a concert is where an audience focuses their attention on performers.  In our presentations the focus of the congregation is on one thing only- the beauty of our faith as taught by the Catechism, Sacred Scripture and Sacred tradition.

The video component adds an additional emotional element to the music and helps to drive home the power and beauty of the faith.

presented at include:
