He has dedicated more than twenty years of his life to music ministry, sharing his talent with Hispanic communities through courses on liturgy and published music with OCP.

The Diocese of Beaumont is blessed with a cultural diversity, a diversity that should be experienced in all parishes, especially in our liturgical ministries and in our music.
Our Diocese is fortunate to be able to present Santiago Fernandez and Louis Canter to those interested in and working in music ministry. All Directors, Accompanists, Cantors, and Choir Members are encouraged to attend. Please register online.
This workshop is made possible by a grant from the Oregon Catholic Press.
