Peru - Christian music legend John Michael Talbot is coming to St. Augustine's & St. Patrick's Parish for two evenings, May 5 and 6.

Each evening begins at 7 p.m. and includes an inspiring message and sacred music.

Talbot is also a best-selling author and host of The Church Channel’s TV show “All Things Are Possible.”
His ministry began over 35 years ago with a vision.

“God gave me a vision of itinerant ministry walking on foot from parish to parish in a time of great need in our culture,” he said. “I believe that our current ministry is fulfilling that vision. We are rebuilding the church one parish at a time, and renewing hearts one life at a time!”

John Michael Talbot is one of the pioneering artists of what has become known as Contemporary Christian Music. He is recognized as Catholic music's most popular artist with platinum sales and compositions published in hymnals throughout the world.

A respected and prolific author, Talbot’s 28th book, “Monk Dynasty” was published February, 2016. He is seen weekly as host of The Church Channel’s popular TV series “All Things are Possible” and is a frequent guest on faith and Diocesan networks around the world.

He leads his very active ministry from the Little Portion Hermitage in Arkansas and St. Clare Monastery in Texas where he is the founder and Minister General of the Brothers and Sisters of Charity. His artistic and humanitarian efforts have been recognized with awards from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, the Gospel Music Association, Mercy Corps and the Mother Teresa award.

Today, John Michael Talbot is one of the most active evangelists traveling throughout the world inspiring and renewing the faith of Christians of all denominations through sacred music, inspired teaching and motivational speaking.
