Music by Molly - Catholic Wedding Singer

I am a music coordinator and trained vocalist helping couples plan the wedding music of their dreams! I have always loved music. St. Cecilia, pray for us!

Growing up in a Navy family, I was able to experience many different musical traditions in various parishes. Singing in the choir became a constant in my life, from grade school all the way through college and into the present. During my sophomore year of high school, I also started cantoring at Mass. This experience led me to pursue a minor in music at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. During c

ollege, I served as the music director at the UNL Newman Center for three years. This opportunity allowed me to delve deeper into the beauty and tradition of sacred music in the Catholic Church, and during this time I began singing for weddings as well. After graduating in 2016, I became the choir director, and eventually liturgy director, and wedding music coordinator at my current parish, where I served for five years. Now, I continue to serve as a cantor in my parish and seek out opportunities to participate in special sacred music performances within my community. In January 2018, I started my own wedding music business. My goal was to use my talents to glorify God and assist Catholic couples in understanding and experiencing the profound beauty of the Mass, specifically during their wedding ceremony. The constant pursuit of knowledge and growth inspires me; whether it's learning about new aspects of the liturgy and sacred music, or acquiring new musical and technical skills, I constantly strive to expand my expertise. This allows me to be more creative in assisting couples to bring their wedding music dreams to life in a way that magnifies God's glory. Music is a powerful tool for spiritual transformation, and I am humbled to play a role in helping others encounter God's beauty through sacred music.

In honor of the Solemnity of the Immculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, here's one of my favorite Marian hymns, Ave Maria by Gregory Norbert. I had the great pleasure to perform this with Chris Poutre as the prelude to the Saturday Daily Mass at the Holy Family Shrine in Gretna two days ago. Sancta Maria, Ora pro nobis! ✝️💙🤍

Apparently the video I shared earlier today was cut to a minute without me realizing it, so here’s the full video if anyone’s interested 🤪

Original post:
In honor of St. Ignatius of Loyola’s feast day today, here’s one of my favorite hymns based his “Suscipe” prayer. “These Alone Are Enough” by Dan Schutte. Accompaniment track by on YouTube.

I’ve needed this prayer a lot of times in my life, but especially now that I’m a mom…like when nap time ends unexpectedly right as I’m about to record, so I have to surrender my desire for perfectionism and just go with the flow 😂

Lyrics:
Take my heart, O Lord, take my hopes and dreams.
Take my mind with all its plans and schemes.
Give me nothing more than your love and grace.
These alone, O God, are enough for me.

Take my thoughts, O Lord, and my memory.
Take my tears, my joys, my liberty.
Give me nothing more than your love and grace.
These alone, O God, are enough for me.

I surrender, Lord, all I have and hold.
I return to you your gifts untold.
Give me nothing more than your love and grace.
These alone, O God, are enough for me.

When the darkness falls on my final days,
take the very breath that sang your praise.
Give me nothing more than your love and grace.
These alone, O God, are enough for me.
