Kitty, you are a gift to the Church and to the world. I thank God for you and your beautiful gift of song.

I cannot thank you enough for how much I have enjoyed The Miracle of Love Rosary CD. Anyways, Thank you!

Dear Kitty,

I am doing the Walking Towards Eternity study by Jeff Cavins, and the subject tonight was humility.  It was when I first heard of you and your father's story.  I am came home and looked you up, and wanted to share with you how much your father's story and his faith means to me in my life!  Is your father's story written down somewhere to buy?  Thank you so much for sharing his story so eloquently, and openly.  It needs to be heard, by many.

God Bless you!  Are you coming to Indianapolis in future??

Hi, Robin,

Thanks for your questions.  My dad wrote his story for the book "Amazing Grace for Those Who Suffer," (edited by Jeff Cavins and Matt Pinto) and I have a Lighthouse Catholic Media CD called "God Will Provide" that tells the whole story from my perspective, including his death.

No plans for Indianapolis are in the works right now, but I'd love to come! 🙂

God bless you,  Kitty Cleveland

Kitty, Thank you for a beautiful night at Assumption Catholic Church in Ft. Lauderdale. I cried at every song you sang!!!! I have been listening to your music for a while and am familiar with the strength in your lyrics. But when you sang them live it hit the depths of my soul. The most amazing moment was when you sang "In the Breaking of the Bread" as it placed me right back in Gallillee and Jerusalem. Thank you for sharing the powerful story about your dad and what your family endured. It is an inspiration and example of hope and faith for us all. My God continue to bless you.

Hi Kitty,

Kelly from "33 Days to Morning Glory" mentioned you on her blog All Hearts Afire. I listened to your Miracle on Divine Mercy and was in tears. Thank for sharing your gift of music to bring others closer to Jesus. Today is the anniversary of my Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Blessings,

Lydia

Kitty,

I heard you being interviewed on AM 910 in the Dallas area a couple weeks ago and then they played "Now You Come to Me" and it brought tears to my eyes.  A few days later and went and downloaded the whole Be Not Afraid album from Amazon MP3.  Also, the things you said in that interview were as moving and uplifting as your music — although, I must admit, it is your songs that bring the most tears to my eyes.  Thank you!

John Paul the Great has won the race!  St. John Paul the Great!

Thank you for sharing your story. It is so helpful to be reminded of how God keeps calling us to know, love and serve Him. Thank you, thank you. I am on my journey with Jesus, my Lord and husband, which began in New Orleans as yours did. I should know by now that God is in control, but it sure does help to hear others tell their story. Mt. Carmel Academy class of '59 Saint Mary's Dominican College '60-'61 God bless you!

Hi Kitty, I went to church (not at my usual parish) and it was the week before I left my job. I saw your CD about God providing when you have nothing. I was touched by your talk and the story you shared. I especially love that song "Now You Come to Me."

I thought my husband would think I'm nuts by listening to the CD, but He told me to play it for him. It really strengthened my marriage. Thank you so much for inspiring me and my husband. May the Lord continue to bless you, especially with your gift of music. Thanks, Arlynne

Dear Kitty,

We are all still floating since your appearance at our ENDOW Gala in Denver! This week I have had more positive calls and emails than I can possibly handle. 

Our annual event is meticulously planned for and provides the capstone for the whole year. When we learned at the eleventh hour our original speaker couldn’t make it, I recalled a brief meeting with you a while back and how inspired I was. I picked up the phone and we talked excitedly like old friends.  Happily for us, you cleared your calendar and graciously stepped in to save the day. Upon walking onstage you jokingly called yourself the “consolation prize” but truly, you were anything but. Your presentation was unsurpassable and our Gala was the most successful in our history.    

The humor, warmth, and love that came through in your talk had all 500 people in the room riveted. And the melody of your final song – a tribute to John Paul II – is still echoing in our hearts.

Thank you, Kitty! May God bless your ministry as you blessed us Saturday night.

I just want to thank you for your voice and your ministry. You have touched my heart and soul. I was a foster child and for years, felt such shame. Your song, Let the Healing Begin, cleanses me of my sorrow. I bought your CD for my husband; for the song On Eagle's Wings, but in listening to your beautiful voice, I have been healed also. Thank you so much.

Last year you spoke at  our Theresian Day of Reflection.  Several of us bought your recordings and we now play one of the CDs at our monthly meetings.  Thank you for enhancing our spiritual jouney.  May God shower you with many blessings.

Dear Kitty, I wanted to let you know that you're one of my few female rolemodels. And I look up to you. God Bless!

Kitty,

My mom passed away (expected) while I was playing her songs from my iTunes playlist at her bedside.  The Lord told me that night to see what songs played (playlist was sent to shuffle – only 3 songs played before she died).  

One of the three songs was Wherever You Go from your Be Not Afraid CD.  I didn't recognize the song at first.  When I heard the words "I will die with you in the arms of God," my heart just melted.  What a beautiful song to go home to God – in His arms.  The last song was an instrumental, so your voice was the last one she heard.  Thank you for your ministry.  I love all your CDs.

Hi Kitty,

Since we met last at the Mandeville Farmer's Market on Holy Saturday 2012, my three Miniature Schnauzers–who love singing with you–and I have moved to Seaside, Oregon. 

I have become active at Our Lady of Victory Church here in Seaside.  Last Monday (2/11/13) I attended a Women's Ministry meeting and holding a fund raiser was discussed.  After the meeting, I began to wonder if you were available to come to sing and share as part of a fundraiser we would like to hold in April, 2013 or later if we cannot have everything planned that soon.  Several ideas are going to be discussed in the next couple of weeks, so nothing is definite at this time. I would like to have information about the things–travel costs, accomodations, performance fees, etc.– you would require if we wanted to feature you as the main attraction at our annual fund raiser.

Our Lady of Victory Church parish is very small, but has several outreach programs to give aid to the poor and needy on the Oregon coast.  Our ministry fund raisers help support the religious education program, the ministry to the sick and elderly, missionary trips to our pastor's home parish in Tanzania, Africa, and many other areas of need.

As you can tell, April is coming soon.  If you can email an estimate of the costs to have you travel to the Pacific Northwest, I can share them with the Women's Ministries member when we meet.  My email address is:  [email protected].

Thank you,

Pat Flanagan

Thank you Kitty for coming to St. Frances Cabrini in Spring Hill, FL. The retreat was beautiful and your ministry will help us get closer to our Lady & Our Lord Jesus Christ. You will always be in our prayers.  Please stay in touch with us … Your sister in Jesus, Romana Grubbe

Hello Kitty,

This is Danielle, your 'assistant' from last weekend at Christ the Redeemer in Houston, TX.   I so enjoyed getting to meet you and hear your songs and your testimony.  You are so gracious and humble, and we were blessed that you could share your charisms with us. 

Just wanted to share a little 'God moment' that you helped to bring to me:  I was especially drawn in by your song "God Alone is Enough" at Advent By Candlelight on Friday night.  I bought the album, and have had that beautiful song in my head ever since. 

You know I am expecting, and one of the girl baby names we are considering is Teresa for St. Teresa of Avila.  I've secrety been leaning towards it… My birthday was yesterday, and my husband gave me a book called My Sisters the Saints, a spiritual Memoir.  In the first section, she talks about St. Teresa, and how much she identified with her, was inspired by her, etc.  And I kept thinking "Yes, maybe this little one is a Teresa…", and then they quoted her famous poem:

Let nothing disturb you

Let nothing frighten you…

All things are passing away.

God never changes.

And tears welled up in my eyes!  Here was the very same beautiful song that has been on my lips for the past 3 days!  I am a person who battles the sin of anxiety and worry, and this was just a confirmation of God's love and care for me, and that I need to trust in him. 

Thank you for this song, and thank you for your visit to us last weekend. 

God Bless You!

Best,

Danielle Laird

Thank you for your uplifting music and great storytelling.  A friend from work gave your Lighthouse CD to me after another friend had given it to her.  I have read the book Amazing Grace for Those Who Suffer and the book Our Lady of Kibeho…I also have a little girl named Cecelia who we adopted 2 years ago.   We had waited many years for "her"and it turns out we had had the Pilgrim Virgin Statue come to our home on March 27 2010 and Cecelia was born exactly 9 months later on December 27 2010.  I cannot wait to have your music in my home and to share it with many others.  God bless you and many wishes for a Merry Christmas 2012.   

Kitty, I love your music! We listen to the chant CD every Sunday. My daughters love it.
