Dozens of youth from across the Diocese of Nashville gathered at St. Philip the Apostle Church in Franklin June 19-23 for the first ever Play it Forward Music Camp. Throughout the week, students were able to participate in percussion, voice, piano, guitar, saxophone, violin, and handbell lessons, as well as attend Mass and adoration. It all culminated in a performance for the public Friday, June 23, in the church. The choir practices "Holy Spirit" by Francesca Battistelli.

Parishioners from five Catholic parishes came together to help provide a new home for a woman and her grandson through the Habitat for Humanity program. St. Henry Church, Christ the King Church, and the Cathedral of the Incarnation in Nashville, St. Matthew Church in Franklin, and Holy Rosary Church in Donelson, contributed volunteers and funds for a Catholic build. A total of 150 volunteers, including Deacon Christopher Hoover and Seminarian Griffin Brewster from Holy Rosary, participated in the build June 24-25 and worked on six different homes in the Village by the Creek neighborhood in North Nashville. Father Tien Tran, right, associate pastor of St. Matthew, toured and blessed the site on Saturday, June 24.
