Had an enriching experience engaging with committed Catholic educators in Lima, OH! It was a delightful opportunity to explore a diverse range of music genres, including Pop, Country, R&B, Rock, and Liturgical Music. The Golden Rule stands out as a universal principle that bridges across various faith traditions. Connecting through music, inspired by Pope Francis' call to evangelize through arts and beauty, was truly rewarding. .Rose .GerardRocks! . Charles!!
