Welcome!


Hello and Welcome to the blog that celebrates Cántico de la Mujer Latina!


Cantico de la Mujer Latina is a creative ministry that actually began several years ago.

We began very simply, humbly. At the time, I was a member of the Standing Committee for Hispanic Pastoral Musicians with the National Association of Pastoral Musicians (NPM). I received a phone call from Fr. Virgil Funk, founder and at the time, president of NPM. The regional convention was coming to Grand Rapids, MI, and he asked if I could present something "hispanic." No other parameters were given.

I thought about it for a few days and submitted my proposal to Fr. Virgil & NPM: An afternoon of praise featuring music, poetry, theology written and performed by Latina women.

And so Cántico de la Mujer Latina was born.

Our events often feature original music and original poetry by some of our members.

Keep your eye on this blog for updates and information about Cántico de la Mujer Latina! We'll be posting photos, repertoire, member profiles and so much more!

About the photo: This picture was taken just outside the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City where Cantico de la Mujer Latina had the honor of serving as Ministers of Music.
