A Song for Saturday

A great song to help you shine!!

In my ongoing mission to help spread the word about the great work being done by Catholic musicians, I thought I’d share one of my favorite songs with you today. The song is “Radiance”, the title track from the latest CD by Sarah Bauer

From the very first time I heard this song, I absolutely loved it.  It’s representative of Sarah’s upbeat, infectious style of music - when you listen to it you... READ MORE 


Marie’s Music

Enjoy a little Catholic music today!

If you haven’t already discovered the fabulous music of Marie Bellet, you owe it to yourself to take the next five minutes and treat yourself to this video. 

I love all of Marie’s songs, but this one, Ordinary Time, has always been my particular favorite.  It’s always moved me to tears, and the addition of video footage makes it even more poignant.  Enjoy!


The Audition

When the director called my name, my neck prickled with sweat. It was time to sing.

By Robyn Lee


“All the world’s a stage,” said William Shakespeare. Now I know what he means.

Some people ease into a new hobby by knitting or learning to draw. But I wanted to take up acting. So I figured that emailing a big-name theater and asking if they could recommend an amateur-friendly community theater was a reasonably modest start.

When the producer emailed me back that same day and encouraged... READ MORE

All that Jazz

Family life is a lot like a great jazz band

Last night found our camping quartet huddled around sushi and soda at a San Francisco area jazz club.  Since all three of my guys are musicians, this was their equivalent to many families’ outings to a major league ballpark – a chance to see the pros doing what they love to do.  Eric is hoping to play in the jazz band at school this year.  Adam, our budding drummer, had his eye on the percussionist...

Singing Their Hearts Out

Young Catholic singers mix faith and music.

World Youth Day Songstress

Sarah Bauer, age 25


At World Youth Day in Sydney, Australia, this dynamic 25-year-old singer/songwriter hopes to share the same kind of Christian joy she did at World Youth Day in Cologne, Germany.

She remembers the excitement of seeing young Slovakians come alive to her music, dancing and making hand motions to every song.

“Music is one of those things that can cross... READ MORE
