Sisters in Song Celebrate!
Product Description Sisters in Song recordings are sold for the purpose of raising funds to benefit the retirement needs of religious sisters, brothers and priests throughout the United States. Celebrate! contains contemporary hymns, American spirituals, Hispanic (bilingual) music and classical choral works. The angelic voices of the national choir of religious women and the special arrangements written specifically for them, makes the music on this recording an experience of prayer and praise. It has been known to soothe nerves during traffic jams, comfort the sick, strengthen those who are mourning, give joy to the down-hearted and bring listeners into a peaceful/joyful awareness of their loving God. About the Artist The choir of Catholic sisters, which is featured on this recording, was selected through a national search. The sixty women religious in the Sisters in Song choir come from over twenty states and represent more than thirty different religious communities. In order to take part in this creative way of generating much needed financial support for aging religious the sisters gave up their vacation time to go to Los Angeles for the recording. "Doing something to help others adds to the intensity and joy of what this music is all about," says Sister Theresa LaMetterey, Sisters in Song Project Director and member of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange. Indeed, the members of the choir feel the same way. Sisters Rosalie Deck and Rosemonde Deck of the Congregation of the Sisters of Divine Providence, siblings who are both members of the group, perhaps summed it up best. "Our hearts are happy to sing to help the needs of our elderly religious. The communion of the Sist! ers in Song is a special bond  we are at heart one voice."
