To Whom It May Concern:

I write this letter of recommendation on behalf of George Gonzalez and Family Spirit Music Ministry. I worked with the group for two years while I was pastor of Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Phoenix, Arizona. I found them to be faith-filled, hard-working, responsible and easy to work with. Their music has been a key component of the Life Teen liturgy at Most Holy Trinity. It is exuberant and engaging music which includes Catholic liturgical, contemporary Christian and some of Mr. Gonzalez' own compositions. I think Family Spirit Music Ministry would be a wonderful addition to any parish looking for and upbeat liturgy that is especially appealing to teens, yound adults and the young at heart.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions
Sincerely,
Fr. Roberto Corral, O.P.

Dear George, On behalf of the 2004 P.F. Chang's Rock-n-Roll Arizona Marathon, I would like to thank you and Family Spirit for providing an amazing performance on the course! We are truly grateful for the professional and positive attitude that Family Spirit demonstrated during the entire booking process and day of the race.

We know that the course entertainment ran smoothly because of bands such as Family Spirit who went above and beyond to ensure that everything was on time and organized. I also received several compliments from your stage manager about the ease of working with your group and the energy that the band's performance provided on the course.

Thanks again for all that you did to help make the inaugural marathon a success! I look forward to working with Family Spirit in the future!

Sincerely,

Ashley Saba Race Entertainment

Dear George,

Just a note to say thanks for helping to make the 2003 Youth Ministry Leadership Conference a success!

Your assistance, particularly given the late notice, with the conference was very much appreciated. Thank you for sharing you and your group's gifts of music and song with the parish teams that gathered here for the Leadership Conference on August 2. Your enthusiasm for the music, and desire to share that enthusiasm with us was a great comfort. It is my hope that, as you continue to minister, this enthusiasm and passion will grow, and that you will truly know the joy of the "one who sings praying twice!"

Thank you again for your time, and for proclaming God's love. "That All May Know!"

In Christ's Peace,

Larry Fraher
Director, Youth and Young Adult Ministries
