Array of Hope, the ground-breaking two –hour Catholic multi-media event that features multiple musical acts, motivational speakers and thought-provoking film presentations, has two performances scheduled for March 15 in St. Mary Parish, Colts Neck, at 2:30 and 6:30 p.m.

The upcoming shows will feature the Costa Crew, a family band that exemplifies how exciting it can be to share and witness faith; the Bosco Boys, brothers who are currently studying for the priesthood with Salesians of Don Bosco; the Josh Blakesley Band, a critically acclaimed band that partners with Franciscan University of Steubenville youth conferences, Life Teen International gatherings, Catholic Heart Work Camps, Adore Ministries and parishes of all sizes to bring the message of the Gospel to communities across the United States; and Mario Costabile, a music recording and film producer, who has produced content for MTV, VH1, FuseH, Discovery Channel, the SYFY Channel, Yamaha Music, Sony Music, DefJam Records and Universal Music. Most recently, Costabile produced content for Eternal Word Television Network and The Catholic Television  Network.

The Array of Hope event was created to address the degradation of culture and the lack of spirituality that exists all around by bringing Christ’s message of faith, hope and love to as many teens, young adults and families as possible. it aligns itself with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ strategic plan for 2013-2016, “The New Evangelization/Journey With Christ: Faith-Worship-Witness.” In it, the bishops are exhorting U.S. Catholics to encounter Christ more fully through greater participation in a community that focuses on marriage, the family and the life and dignity of the human person.

St. Mary Parish is located at 1 Phalanx Rd., Colts Neck.
