BERYL QUINTON -- Artist (Vocalist and Keyboards) featured on EWTN. Beryl's personal music ministry evolved from a group ministry at her parish church. Born to a musical and God-centered family, with radio/TV/stage performances as a child, her experience ranges from a "doo-wop" group in high school to her own rock band, raising five children, and singing in the "Papal Choir" during Pope John Paul's visit to New Orleans in 1987.
She met her husband Juan almost 25 years ago, while they were both members of the "Contemporaries," a group at St. Dominic Church (New Orleans) in which they continued to participate (commuting 150 miles every Sunday after Katrina) until the end of August 2006. Their home detroyed by flooding in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, they are now residing in Baton Rouge LA and began in September 2006 their participation in St. Jude the Apostle's music ministry.
From the group ministry in New Orleans, Beryl also launched her own personal music ministry several years ago, and now regularly plays weddings, funerals, baptisms, and masses. Beryl's music has been recognized in nationwide U. S. competition sponsored by the United Catholic Music and Video Association (UCMVA), reaching finalist status in both 2002 and 2005 Awards. Her music has also been accepted by the Catholic cable network EWTN, to be featured in their programming.
Beryl and Juan are grateful to have survived the storm, and for their God-given strength to recover after losing all of their possessions -- including even their supply of unsold CD's (now re-replicated). Beryl also counts among her blessings the continuation of her pipe organ lessons in Baton Rouge, and playing to a full congregation on Christmas Day. Praise God!!! |
