Await 2013 Catholic World Youth Day with Brazilian Streamed Concert

Paul Keggington

July 14, 2013

As 2013 Catholic World Youth Day pilgrims count down the days to  Pope Francis’ arrival in Brazil, Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity stream a Brazilian-friendly concert collaborating with Jards Macale, Robert Everest, Marcio Esche, and through Instituto Musica Brasilis Luis Alvares Pinto. You are invited to listen to the creative energy of  free-spirited troubadours and unite your own prayers with ‘disciples of all nations’.

As St. Francis was inspired to create a canticle of creation, so too, do these artists concretize breath-taking beauty and movements of the heart. Enjoy some free downloads and move with upbeat joyful music capturing the spirit of this land and people.
