A PASSIONATE CATHOLIC DUO ON A MISSION TO GLORIFY GOD THROUGH MUSIC AND MINISTRY

Francesco has spent more than 12 years immersing himself in bilingual ministry by leading music ministries, youth groups, and retreats. He began his service through his gift of music, writing and composing songs for retreats, and arranging music parts for each band member.

Faith, music, and family are the driving forces and biggest passions in Francesco's life. After graduating from the Minor Seminary he received a B.A. in Theology & Philosophy, as well as a stronger understanding of the Vocation of Marriage he had been called to pursue.

Soon after he met his wife Veronica who shared his calling and a deep passion for Catholic music and ministry. He served as the Coordinator of Evangelization and Parish Life for the Archdiocese of Miami for a year before starting his M.A. in Theology and feeling called to start his full-time Ministry in music and speaking.

Francesco is known for sharing the Faith through speaking and music in a captivating, relatable, and relevant way while remaining True to the Catholic Church and Her Teachings. This experience ultimately brought him to the decision to start an Apostolate and business Fall Afresh Catholic Media to share his experience and his love for the Lord with as many hearts as he can reach.

Veronica fell in love with and began to practice her Catholic Faith at 15 years old. She started to serve in the Church Choir, and youth groups, and later planned and led retreats.

She earned a B.A. in Theology & Communications from Ave Maria University and an M.A. in Theology & Ministry from Franciscan University. During college, she worked with Fr. Michael Gaitley, MIC, and helped lead the first ever YA Nationwide Marian Consecration for more than 12,000 college students. In that work, her love for Marian Ministry began.

Veronica has been featured as a guest writer for Life Teen and The Chastity Project. Her blogs have reached more than 30,000 and her online videos have reached more than 100,000. She has sung and spoken to crowds of 15 to 3,000 at several Catholic Youth Conferences and retreats including the International Marian Symposium, Pro-Life Conference, and Diocesan Youth Conferences throughout the United States.
