GRETCHEN HARRIS

Gretchen Harris is a Catholic singer and songwriter, who shows through her music her great love for God and her devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, the Holy Rosary, and respect for Life.

Gretchen has always felt a calling to the music ministry, beginning in her early teens. She followed that calling by developing her faith and her music, and growing through her life experience, culminating in the release of two albums thus far.

Gretchen has a special devotion to the Blessed Mother, and on a pilgrimage in 1991, was blessed to receive a special sign to sing to Mary. In gratitude and love for her, she recorded the album “Sing of Mary” in her honor.

In recent years, Gretchen was blessed beyond measure to be chosen by Dana, the renowned Irish singer, to sing with her on the recording and the music video of the beautiful pro-life song, "This Is My Body." The concept of the song was suggested to Dana by Fr. Frank Pavone, Director of Priests for Life, and it can be found on Dana’s album, "Humble Myself." The music video of “This Is My Body” won the Unity Award for "Music Video of the Year" from the UCMVA. Gretchen truly believes that this is the most important song she has ever been involved in, having witnessed how it has changed people’s hearts and minds regarding abortion.
Gretchen has been a musical guest on Dana’s EWTN television series, "We Are One Body," and has performed in the "Keeping the Faith Alive Tour" with HeartBeat Records. Her songs can be heard on EWTN’s Catholic Jukebox radio program, and she has ministered all over through radio programs and interviews. She enjoys sharing her music in concerts and sang recently with singer Tatiana at the Sacred Heart Retreat Center in Los Angeles.

In addition to her vocation as wife and mother of three children, Gretchen is enjoying reaching out to others through her growing music ministry. She has just finished producing a wonderful album of her gifted parish choirs from St. Lawrence Martyr Church in Redondo Beach, California.
