Insight Article on VISION OF LOVE MINISTRY
by Fr. Leonard A. Kennedy, C.S.B.
In 1996 more than thirty youths and young adults organized to serve as Christian musicians and artists to bring
glory to God. This lay ministry is under the direction of Chatholic priest and nuns. Music and the arts can convey
expressions of faith that witness to the love of God and neighbour. These young people share their God-given gifts
with various communities in the Toronto archdiocese and in neighbouring regions, usually but not exclusively in churches and
schools. They provide music for Masses, prayer meetings and worship services, which can be combined on request with
drama, art and dance; prayer with songs from Taize Community; music for conferences, retreats, rallies, festivals, concerts
etc.; prayers teams to minister for specific needs; Christian and Catholic literature.
The ministry offers praise and worship in a variety of styles, including rock, latin, folk, reggae, soca/calypso
etc. It has produced a CD (Celebration Time Revival Time) and has been highly praised in newspaper reports. It
does not request fees from parish communities, though honorariums are appreciated. It sponsors organizations such
as World Vision or Sharelife to bring hope and material assistance to children in Third World countries.
It has been assisted financially by businesses and private donations.
The Toronto areas is fortunate in having this ministry. We hope that similar groups exist in other parts
of Canada. For inforamation on the Toronto group write

In the words of the late Fr Peter Nicholson, former editor of the Catholic News, Port-of-Spain and author of
Nick's Corner It is good to live by the slogan: “Don't die until you are dead,” because, let's face it,
many people have been dead for several years but prefer not to make it known. Living out the ideals of our faith will help us to make the right choices and assess the worth of our
earthly pilgrimage. Because when we die we leave behind us all that we have and take with us all that we are. FOOD FOR THOUGHT If It Is To Be....It's Up To Thee! So Let It Be! |
