Ria Music Ministry

REVIEW - How many times have you heard “I think I died and went to Heaven?” That is how I felt the first time that I listened to this awe inspiring Group.

From that time on, their CD is played continually while I am driving.

Now I awake in the middle of the night and find myself singing these beautiful prayers and hymns.

We are especially pleased and grateful, here at the Man Foundation for the song written with great love, dedicated to Our Lady, under the title of Rosa Mystica (“Mystical Rose”).

May God bless this group now and always.

REVIEW - I strongly endorse the witness and the music of Ria Music Ministry. It is anointed; it is inspirational. It is both classical and modern. In and through this ministry, people are inspired, touched and changed. God uses them powerfully to reach the minds and hearts of people with the whole of Catholic doctrine and spirituality. People are inspired to live a deep life of prayer, commitment and the sacramental life. I know of no other ministry that has touched me as much as Ria Music Ministry.

REVIEW - Ria Music Ministry means exactly what the name says: a powerful instrument at the service of God's Church primarily through a vast and inspiring repertoire of music and singing. My long association with their ministry has been for me a true blessing and inspiration.

REVIEW - I have found that RIA Music Ministry is the glue that holds our retreat together. Not only do they have wonderful music and beautiful voices, but they coordinate well with the event in place. As retreat coordinator for our annual parish women's retreat, I understand the importance of being able to keep the program moving along with efficient and effective transitional phases. I rely on the expertise of RIA Music Ministry in these transitions. I put the theme and the schedules in their hands and they, along with the program MC, keep the event moving along smoothly. I never have anything to worry about. They select the appropriate music and beautifully make it happen. The women of our parish look forward to RIA Music Ministry's return each year."

REVIEW - I believe Maria & Gloria are faith filled persons whose ministry is absolutely in accord with official Church teaching, policy and practice. I highly recommend Ria Ministry for any Church function.

The simple reason I like your CDs is that they are very scriptural, very rich in content and thus, do convey the appeal to praise God in a special way. Today the current trend is that we tend to ask so many things in the name of prayer. Main thing we should do in prayer is to THANK AND PRAISE GOD. This particular element is very vivid in your work. Your have understood this element out of your own experience, that’s why I think that you have been able to highlight it.
