To Whom It May Concern:

Re: Lorraine Hartsook

This letter is to serve as a reference for Lorraine Hartsook as she offers her musical and song writing gifts as a ministry of evangelization through concerts, radio and TV productions, parish and diocesan gatherings and conferences.

Lorraine is a member of Sacred Heart Parish in Eston, Saskatchewan which is within the Diocese of Saskatoon. She is a practicing Catholic of great standing in her faith, actively involved in the life of her parish, sharing her gift generously. Her music and its message are well appreciated by many as attested by several letters of recommendation that I have received. As well I have had the occasion to meet her several times and am impressed with her sincerity, zeal and joy in witnessing to the Lord.

She has a great desire to share her faith and her personal witness to God's love. She wishes to promote unity amongst all believers. Therefore, I would recommend that her offer be considered in a positive light.

Sincerely,

Most Rev. Albert LeGatt Bishop of Saskatoon
