Gate of Heaven is solid in the Catholic Tradition...established...in the ancient modes, especially Gregorian, while creating a...contemporary style to express authentic doctrine.

Your music is nothing short of spectacularly sacred. My devotion to the Blessed Mother has especially grown because of listening to Gate of Heaven.

We thank you so very much for your gift to us of the BEAUTIFUL Hymn you wrote for our Community.

The collection can be recommended not only for personal listening but for the use in schools and catechism classes, services of the Word, vigils, and devotions, if not in the liturgy itself in all cases.

The role of church music as a source of inspiration and Catholic teaching has been lost for many parishioners confused by difficult hymns and the abandonment of tradition. Gate of Heaven offers an opportunity to provide appropriate, Catholic music for the liturgy.

I read your precious little booklet on Stones Instead of Bread . . . I wish to congratulate you for your sense of good theology, of tradition in the Church, and especially for your delicate touch and good taste. . . Wish you all the luck, or rather, wish the Church the good luck to discover you and appreciate you. With my blessing...

Thank you for creating such a lovely hymn to help us honor and celebrate our founder’s bicentennial, St. Elizabeth Seton. Singing the hymn at the end of our Eucharistic celebration was powerful, as with each verse we honored St. Elizabeth Seton’s extraordinary accomplishments that have continued impacting many lives two hundred years later.

The Hymn to St Elizabeth Seton was also featured in the 150th Anniversary of our founding by the Daughters of Charity. The Solemn Mass was celebrated at the first Roman Catholic Cathedral (1806) to be built in America, now known as Baltimore’s Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Hymn to St. Elizabeth Ann Seton was, fittingly, sung by a Daughter of Charity.

The Daughters of Charity Motherhouse honored the Hymn to Saint Elizabeth Seton for its use in their 200th Anniversary celebration of Mother Seton’s arrival in Emmittsburg.

I thought that I would like to share your fine work with the Archbishop Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, which has been involved in the study of the Cause of the Venerable Cardinal Newman.
