Kitty Cleveland
Kitty Cleveland, a singer/songwriter, inspirational speaker, and artist from New Orleans, began her professional career as a lawyer and then as a college instructor. But in an adoration chapel one day in 1998, as she searched for God during a devastating family crisis, she clearly heard the Lord Jesus call her to become a "music missionary." Kitty has since released 10 CDs of music and prayer. Those CDs became the foundation for her nonprofit, Sounds of Peace, which has a mission to share the consolation of her music and prayer with the poor, the sick, and the dying at no charge to them.
Kitty has appeared numerous times on EWTN, Boston Catholic TV, on the radio, in concert, and as a keynote speaker both at home and abroad. She lives in the New Orleans area with her musician husband, and they are slowly adjusting to an empty nest. In addition to leading hundreds of people in praying the rosary each weekday morning online at 5:45 am CT (you are cordially invited!), she enjoys cooking, gardening, and oil painting. Kitty’s first book, From Prison to Paradise: A Sory of Radical Trust in God’s Divine Mercy (The Word Among Us Press) is now available on Amazon or at your local Catholic bookstore.
