Moving to Europe in 2022, Grace has worked closely with the Order of Preachers in various Sacred Music workshops and in 2023 launched The Musica Sacra Project, an online resource and education website. Further studies include a Certificate in Theology specialising in Liturgy through the University of Notre Dame, Illinois.
In composition, Grace wrote her first Latin Mass setting ‘Mass of St Maximilian Kolbe’, parts of which were premiered in 2022, and now fully released and available on the website in 2024.
Very passionate about faith, morals and the Church in all aspects of life, ‘State of Grace’ is a blog where Grace may share thoughts and information, as a small corner of a greater website.
