2002 The success
of the official introduction of The Rosary for Children, The Rosary for
Youth, and the Stations of the Cross to the American scene through an
invitation to attend the 2002 Unity Awards extended by the United Catholic
Music and Video Association, comes as no surprise to those who are familiar
with these recordings. That
invitation was given to the Western Australian creators of the recordings -
Brenda Croft and Jenny Knight. Australian
Catholics and many Christians throughout the world have long recognised the great appeal of these three productions,
which were made in It was a
whirlwind tour for Brenda and Jenny who during their several days in
Washington DC and Alabama, distributed their promotional kits including CD’s
and information to media, many local and international figures attending the
Awards plus staff and guests at Mother Angelica’s EWTN network studio. Here they
were interviewed for the Bookmark program. Brenda and
Jenny were invited to attend the United Catholic Music and Video
Association’s annual Unity Awards on 26 October 2002 held in Among their
many highlights, they count the “overwhelming welcome we received as
Australians when we were given the singular honour
of presenting the first four category Awards.” In the
audience of several hundred were also dignitaries from the Church as well as
representatives from the US Congress, the European Union, and many involved
in the music and media industries. Although Brenda and Jenny did not win their category on this occasion, they considered it was “a fantastic opportunity” to introduce to the people at large through numerous media interviews, including speaking to over a hundred school children, the outstanding attributes of their three recordings. Describing as
“inspiring” the work and quality of the UCMVA, whose mission is to spread
God’s message of unity, love and evangelisation
through authentic Catholic music and video, Brenda and Jenny are also excited
by the professional high standard of the artists and their recordings. “While there,
we were exposed to an incredible depth of talent of artists from all over the
world coming through, who performed at the Awards, including an Australian
band who won the International Album of the Year category. Through all
this, Brenda and Jenny stated, with the talent and commitment they were
exposed to, “we believe the Holy Spirit is really moving in an extraordinary
way in all different artistic fields, and there is much hope and inspiration
for the Catholic Church.” Attending
also was Dana Scallon, who won the Eurovision Award
many years ago, and has since gone on to record numerous religious music CD’s
including the Rosary and Stations of the Cross. According to
Brenda and Jenny, she appeared however very burdened with her
responsibilities as the Irish representative on the European Union. And asked
specifically if they would ask their fellow Australians to pray fervently for
God’s strength to continue her fight against the current spiritual warfare
attacking Prior to
their Now revitalised from their tremendous experiences, Brenda and
Jenny are already working on adding the new Luminous Mysteries to The
Rosary for Children and The Rosary for Youth, which will be
available by the end of January 2003. 13th
