BOSTON MUSICIAN ROCKS WYD!!!
Monica Ursino was chosen by World Youth Day to perform at a prime Dusseldorf venue Wednesday and was given the prime time slot of 8-9pm. Bostonians in attendance said the "platz" was packed and that she was a huge success with her unique style of Christian music. They also said they were just as impressed with her faith and moved by her witness talk. Monica has been a regular favorite at our local Proud2BCatholic concerts. For more on Monica please go to www.monicaursino.com. Congrats Monica! We are proud of you and keep up the good work!
