Music Ministry

Inspirational Catholic singers Annie Karto and Matthew Baute are the music ministry team that provides music for OSMM retreats and conferences.

Their voices blend in a beautiful way that helps retreatants more easily enter into prayer. Both Annie and Matthew have been recognized individually with Unity Awards for their recordings.

Annie Karto

As a Catholic singer-songwriter, Annie Karto hopes to stir the flame in the Catholic Church through the power of God's great gift of music. The healing mercy of God is the heart of her music ministry, along with singing of the beautiful sacraments of the Church, and honoring the Blessed Mother Mary. She has a desire to encourage priests in their vocations and has been blessed to share her song "You Are A Priest Forever" with many priests across the country.

MatThew Baute

Have you ever felt sadness, weakness or pain? Have you ever felt abandoned, isolated or lonely? If you said yes to one or more of these questions, you are sure to be encouraged by the music of Matthew Baute. Matthew is an inspirational singer/songwriter with a gentle spirit that is reflected in the style of music he plays, and one who shines a light on a bruised heart. In 2006, Matthew Baute signed on as a World Library Publications (WLP) artist and in 2007 released his second CD "HOLD ME, LORD", which subsequently won a Unity Award for 'Praise & Worship Album of the Year'.
