NICK CARDILLINO 

By day, Nick is a lay Catholic campus minister at the University of Dayton. But at night, he takes out his guitar and pencil and writes songs. Some of his songs come from the experiences of the students he works with who look for God among the poor or who struggle with questions of discernment. Other songs come from his experiences of marriage and family life.

Then there are other songs that come entirely out of left field!

Nick also plays occasionally at the University, local coffeehouses and churches. Every Sunday, he leads a contemporary music ensemble at the 12:00pm Mass at Holy Angels Church in Dayton.
