From Prison to Paradise: A Story of Radical Trust in God's Divine Mercy

This title will be released on February 14, 2025

Deacon Carl Cleveland was a loving, successful, faithful man when his world came crashing down. Sentenced unjustly to prison, he endured the loss of all he had: his reputation, home, career, and family. From Prison to Paradise is the moving and inspirational account of Carl and his family discovery of God’s mercy and peace in the midst of their ordeal. Kitty Cleveland, an acclaimed singer and retreat leader, shares her own journey of surrender and trust, along with her father’s captivating and often humorous stories from “the inside.” Immaculee Ilibagiza, survivor of the Rwandan genocide and bestselling author, writes, “If you have ever struggled to make sense of suffering, forgive, or renew your faith, this book has something for you.”

Dear Kitty, Thank you so much for that beautiful tribute to our Holy Father. As I listened, I wept again for the hundredth time this week, but this time they were tears of joy!! I’m passing this on to our KC RC section…Your ministry is awesome!

This song has touched me so much! I sing in a Contemporary Choir at St. Francis of Assisi in San Antonio Texas and would love the sheet music when you have it available. What an AWESOME tribute to Pope John Paul II and our Lord! Thank you so much, :grin

 WHY SCOTLAND?
A friend of mine from my Junior Year Abroad at the University of Edinburgh has invited me to her wedding in October, and I was thinking how magical the acoustics would be in one of those 13th century cathedrals.  Since the latest terrorist attacks, this trip is also shaping up to be a “Be Not Afraid” concert tour. We are still in the very early planning stages, but I ask you to keep this in your prayers.
The songs will be primarily the sacred Latin treasures that so many of you have asked for, including the English translations in the liner notes.  It will also include parts of the Latin Mass with translations in keeping with Pope Benedict XVI’s desire that this treasure not be lost.
No matter what you may think about using Latin versus the local vernacular (I have no strong opinion either way), it sure would be neat to be able to pray the Mass in the same language as the natives no matter where you are in the world!
SONG LIST
Here is what we’re considering so far:
  • A few different Latin Masses
  • Veni Creator Spiritus
  • O Sanctissima
  • Salve Regina
  • Tantum Ergo
  • Panis Angelicus
  • Ave Maria
  • Pater Nostra
  • Adoro Te Devote
  • Regina Coeli
  • Ave Verum Corpus
  • Pange Lingua Gloriosi
  • Parce Domine
  • Ubi Caritas
  • Attende Domine
  • Jesu Dulcis Memoria
  • Ave Maria
If there are any other songs you’d like to hear, I’d love to hear your ideas!  Also, these songs will be available for your personal dedications (as we did with the last CD in the liner notes).  Not only does this provide an essential part of the funding necessary to record these projects, it makes a beautiful and lasting memorial or gift to someone you love.  Please email me if you’d like more information about sponsoring a song on this new CD.
UPDATE:  I’m happy to report that this CD is now available for sale!  Please check out the music store for sound clips and purchasing.
