Taylor Tripodi’s moving “The Dark is Not Your Home” speaks to anyone who feels trapped in darkness. God did not create you for darkness and, even in the midst of pain, he calls you. This song speaks to His love, tenderness, and gives us all courage to step out of the dark into our true home with the Lord.

Love’s Not
Love is a hard thing to pin down. Mars Ill’s brilliant hip-hop song “Love’s Not” describes everything which is definitely not love. Do you want love? Avoid all the things love’s not.

Salve Regina
Friar Gabriel skated for seven years as a teenager, with his focus gravitating towards one of a religious vocation as he matured. His passion for skateboarding waned with his surety to live a life of Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience as a Friar of the Immaculate. After securing the title of Friar, with much time passing since he last interacted with a skateboard, he was given obedience to visit a local skate park once a week, with the intent to “preach the gospel at all times,” as Saint Francis once stated. In Salve Regina, Friar Gabriel explains that God utilizes peoples’ talents to give Him glory, and how skateboarding has given a platform to the idea of exercising the body as well as the soul.

Vive Jesus El Señor
Amanda Vernon is a recording artist who speaks to authentic beauty through music, the language of the soul. We were fortunate to have her share her talents on an original rendition of the classic hymn “Vive Jesus el Señor”. Translated into English as “Live Jesus, the Lord”, the song was composed by Belgian priest Fr. Lucas Casaert, a well-known missionary who has served in Bolivia for 50 years.
