Jimmy Mitchell and Colleen Nixon formed the singing group “Marian Grace” because they love sacred music. They sing the sacred hymns of the church with a contemporary flair. I was able to sit down with Jimmy after the show and speak with him about beauty and music, and his own story of coming to love the faith in a deeper way. He is also a regional director of “Fraternus”, a mentoring program for the young men; and he spoke about his work with young people and the goals of “Fraternus”.
