The Mass of Annunciation is Approved.
I am delighted, honored, and blessed to announce that my original mass setting, the Mass of Annunciation, has been approved by the United States Council of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) Committee of Divine Worship for use in the liturgy. I have also received permission from ICEL, the International Commission on English in the Liturgy to use their text from the Roman Missal. These were the two hurdles I needed to cross over before I could submit my Mass of Annunciation to OCP, a large and well-known publisher of Catholic and church music. I pray the Lord continue to open doors for me as He sees fit. I will sing and write as long as He continues to inspire. Read more about the Mass of Annunciation here or see the sheet music and download it for free on my Scribd account here.
Other news: I sent a copy of my CD, let it be done to me, to EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network)! They have a wonderful show called Life On The Rock, which has featured many new faces in Catholic Christian music. I am very hopeful that the Lord will open that particular door for me, one that has been a dream of mine since I first started writing music and singing. I would simply love to be able to share what the Lord has done in my life through music, especially in my pro-life ministry and through my pro-life song, Let Me Live. Please pray that as the Lord leads, I will follow.
I am also hoping to get in touch with Father Frank Pavone from Priests for Life. He happened to meet my parents here in Florida recently, and they gave him a copy of an older CD of mine. So I'm hoping to get him the new one, which features Let Me Live. I know the Lord has a powerful mission for me and for my music, and I pray that He will continue to provide me opportunity to sing His praise and give testament to His might and His love.
