Mary Grace K.

Dear Mrs. Kitty,

My name is Mary Grace K.  I am a 5th grader at Our Lady of Lourdes school in Slidell.  I heard you sing at OLL Church after Katrina.  I am doing a research project for my fifth grade language class on a musician who has influenced New Orleans' musical heritage.  And I picked you!  I think you sing awesome, and you really helped us heal after the Hurricane.  I would like to ask you a few questions:

  • Where were you born?
  • What is your birthday?
  • What is your educational background? Based on your CD, I understand that you are a graduate of Chapelle, then went to Newcomb College, obtained your law degree from Tulane, and your Masters in Social Work from Southeastern Louisiana University.
  • What type of music do you sing?  What is your favorite?
  • What awards have you won?
  • What are you doing now?
  • I know that you are very devoted to Eucharistic Adoration (my family is too!).  Could you share on this?
  • I think that you have influenced New Orleans' musical heritage by helping us heal after Katrina.  What does your song, "Eye of the Storm" mean to you?
  • Are there any other interesting facts that you would like me to include in my project?

Thank you so much for helping me with this project and for singing so beautifully for the Lord!!!  God Bless You! Thanks, Mary Grace  

P.S.  My parents are James and Patricia K.  You sang at their wedding on June 7, 1997 at the old Our Lady of Lourdes Church building that was destroyed in Katrina.  And my Mom heard you speak at her Familia group a couple of years ago at St. Luke's Church in Slidell.
