#62 Catholic Playlist Show

Sharing the joy of the Gospel by playing the best and some of the very newest contemporary Christian music exclusively from Catholic artists is what the Catholic Playlist is all about.

Catholic Playlist #62 features music from artists like Delmore, Chris Bray, Sam Rocha, Sarah Kroger, Kara Klein, Benedictio and others. We’ve got new music from Lee Roessler, and our new featured artist this week is Matt Faley, who just released his debut EP titled “The Only Light”. That debut will lead off the second segment of the show.

We want to welcome to the show the listeners of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Radio, KOUR-LP, serving Coralville, Iowa City, and North Liberty at 92.7 FM located on the campus of the University of Iowa! That makes 7 radio stations that carry the Catholic Playlist show, which is amazing, and there are many more stations interested in carrying it. More coming soon, and thanks for listening!

New Featured Artist: Matt Faley

Please join us in welcoming our new featured artist in playlist #62, Matt Faley. Matt just released his debut EP “The Only Light” and we are pleased to play a song from it this week. According to his website, mattfaley.com, Matt works full-time in Catholic young adult ministry and uses this platform to share the gifts and talents he has been given to re-invigorate the Gospel for college students and young adults. He currently serves as the Director of Young Adult and College Campus Ministry for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis and has been in full-time ministry for over five years. Matt also uses the art, beauty and transformative power of music and songwriting to speak to the heart of the Gospel. Just as the love of Jesus is all-encompassing and universal, Matt writes honest reflections that do not just scratch the surface, but speak deeply to the heart of every person. Matt uses the joys, the journey, the suffering and the redemption of his own life in Christ draw people closer to the story written on their own heart.

And that certainly comes through in the music on his debut EP titled ‘The Only Light’. We’re pleased to play the title track from his new EP, “The Only Light” in this week’s show.
