Successes 

1. SONGU SUCCESS SPOTLIGHT! - This week we're shining the light on Sister Kay Kay (ME, member since 2009):
   Type of Good News: Released an album. Song Title: Joy of Our Family - an EP titled American Family Snapshots.
   Inspired by Pope Francis' Apostolic Exhortation "Amoris Laetitiae", I wrote and recorded songs dealing with American family life. SongU members Perry Walp and Sharyn Cassidy contributed one song to the EP. After many months, I finished the EP and sent it to the Pope. Finally, early in November (I sent the disc in early September via Global Priority Mail), I received a message from the Holy Father: "Thank you for sharing your work with me." A standard answer maybe, but coming from the Pope...! I was thrilled. I want to share this good news. SongU was a major help in critiquing the songs I wrote. Praise the Lord, everyone!
