Be inspired to grow in relationship with the Lord and others.
Held in celebration of the Jubilee Year of Hope, this year’s theme, “Hope Does Not Disappoint” (Romans 5:5), reminds us that even in challenging times, our hope in Christ is unfailing.

Mercy Divine – Music
Husband and wife Kira and Jeff Andrea spent years performing in secular bands but always felt uncomfortable sharing their faith. After feeling called to start a new chapter, the Catholic couple began Mercy Divine — Catholic music with the aim of drawing listeners closer to Jesus, his divine mercy, and the beauty of the Catholic faith. With more than 350,000 followers on Instagram and over 178,000 followers on YouTube, the duo now share a variety of social media content including the singing of Latin hymns, praying novenas, and videos discussing different aspects of the Catholic faith. As a content creator, Kira said she tries “not to put the focus on myself too much. I want the focus on God, the richness of our faith — the miracles, wonders, devotions, prayers, and the love of Christ and Our Blessed Mother.
“Our goal is to do the same with our music. We love the beauty of tradition and reverence for Jesus in the Eucharist and want to bring that into everything we create,” she added. “Our goal is to move hearts and souls to love God, embrace their faith, and live it boldly.”
Mercy Divine’s debut, EP, “The Queen Stands”, was released on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. The Blessed Virgin Mary is at the heart of Mercy Divine’s music ministry and their first official release is consecrated to Our Lady.
Mercy Divine’s music is available to stream on Spotify and all digital outlets.
