The creators of Catholic Music 2008 and Catholic Christmas, Gary Gersin of Cleveland, Ohio and Mike Beloud of Los Angeles, California hope to continue to bring awareness to the variety of Catholic music ministries that exist today. Gersin, of 1360AM WWOW radio in Conneaut Ohio, said, I am constantly trying to think of new ways to introduce people to all of this great music that exists within the Church today. Catholic Music 2007 was very well received, so we wanted to continue to use these projects to introduce people to Catholic music ministries they may have never heard of before. It s all about sharing our Faith and serving God through His gift of music Gary and I really took a leap of faith when we volunteered to spearhead the Catholic Music 2007 compilation project. We had no idea that the response was going to be so overwhelming; it has been a very fun and exciting ride to be able to share this wonderful music with people everywhere. It has also been an absolute joy to work with these artists, their hearts are really in the right place said Beloud, member of the Catholic-rock group Rise. I am very happy with the music featured on the Catholic Music 2008 and Catholic Christmas projects. Praise is first of the two CDs on the Catholic Music 2008 compilation, which features modern upbeat music, while Disc 2 Worship is more traditional/prayerful music.
