Once again it’s time for the Proud2BCatholic music festival. This is the sixth annual event and for the second year in a row it will be held at the Marist House in Framingham, Massachusetts, on August 12.
Performers include American Idol contestant Ayla Brown, Fr. Stan Fortuna (also Mass Celebrant), Bob Rice, Sean Forrest, Sarah Bauer, Righteous B, Bernie Choiniere, Martin Doman, Paul Savageau, Cross Pollen (with speaker Chris Faddis), Ryan Meyers, Zealous, John Flynn, Aaron Fouhey, Susan Bailey, R.O.C.K. Music Ministry, and John Polce.
Ray Flynn, former ambassador to the Vatican and former mayor of Boston, will be keynote speaker. You can buy tickets and get directions at the web site above.
P2BC is also spreading around North America with events in Pennsylvania, Louisiana, and Toronto, with more to come. This has come a long way since my brother-in-law Peter Campbell went to World Youth Day in Rome and first had his idea for a teen and family event to be held on Salem Common. My goal is someday it will be big enough to rent out Gillette Stadium. Oh yeah!
