Array of Hope delivers an opportunity for Catholic families to encounter Jesus Christ through music, worship, and witness.

Array of Hope exists to reveal the “Truths of our Faith,” to help people “rediscover the joy and confidence of believing in the Triune God and to enthusiastically profess that faith as a true encounter and relationship with Jesus Christ.” (Instrumentum Laboris,#18).

The Array of Hope concert event is a multimedia experience, sharing the Faith through live musical performances, talks, and personal witnesses, along with high-quality visuals and thought-provoking film presentations. This show journeys through the three Theological Virtues of Faith, Hope, and Love, culminating with the importance of fostering a relationship with Christ through prayer. It is a powerful and transformative experience designed to be a vehicle for the Holy Spirit to inspire all who attend it. It especially celebrates an appreciation of the family.

The show’s key themes are the importance of God in the family and the loving support prayer can bring to the spiritual and emotional development of us and our children. This is a perfect family event. The show runs approximately 2 1/2 hours with an intermission.

The Array of Hope concert experience brings together personal faith stories from young adults, prayer experiences, exciting live musical performances, and live interaction with participants to provide a powerful, faith-building experience that helps people grow in their love of Jesus Christ. “They present the Gospel in Technicolor,” as John Morales of “Morning Air” on Relevant Radio said. Even Gus Llyod host of “Seize the Day” on Sirius XM’s the Catholic Channel commented, “It’s a really exciting show!”

Array of Hope has been featured on EWTN, the Catholic Faith Network, Shalom World, Catholic TV, Salt and Light Media and The NET. Array of Hope has also been featured in large Archdiocese conferences such as One LIFE LA and is one of the headlining performers for the well known event Abbey Fest. Array of Hope has been drawing thousands of youth and families to the Catholic Church by awakening their inner desire to seek a relationship with Christ and promoting the ideals of families. This unique Catholic ministry delivers the Gospel in a way that is relevant to our youth and families.
