Many songwriters are today's poets, they aim at the heart.  This presentation – a lecture with music – will speak of the values found in music and lyrics.  The music opens up hearts and prepares them to hear the Christian message on life, relationships, marriage, values and the like. 

Fr. Frank McNulty, a noted preacher, teacher and author, is the presenter.  He currently travels giving missions and retreats.  He is well known to the people of Saint Helen's.  Father is accompanied by Beth Rogers, singer, and Phil Mealey, pianist.
