Sr. Julia Mary grew up in Amish country, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. She has been singing since she was a five-year-old in the cherub choir and many years later graduated with a degree in music. She considers music the universal language that everyone understands. Books are another passion. (Let her know if you ever need a good recommendation!)

“Music is God’s gift to man, the only art of heaven given to earth; the only art of earth we take to heaven” (Walter Savage Landor).
