Initially performing with Scarecrow and Tinmen before continuing his ministry solo, Chris entered the Catholic Church in Easter 1999. He holds an M.A. in theology from Franciscan University and is pursuing doctoral work at the International Marian Research Institute. When not touring and speaking, Chris enjoys life at home with his wife Linda and their nine children. Through his ministry, Chris seeks not just to entertain but to draw others into a deeper relationship with Jesus.

A Secular Franciscan since 1971, he holds degrees from the University of Notre Dame in Theology and Music Composition. In 1977, he founded International Liturgy Publications, the oldest independent non-profit publisher of Catholic sacred music. Named Catholic Artist of the Year in 2001, Vince has earned seven Unity awards and three Grammy Awards for his music. His accomplishments include composing and performing the first English Mass Setting at St. Peter's Basilica for Pope John Paul II, and his work is preserved in the Vatican archives alongside classical masters like Vivaldi and Puccini.</p>
