The Redemption Singers

In the spring of 1999, seven ladies from St.'s Peter & Paul Catholic Church in West Bend formed an ensemble to sing one song at a child’s graduation mass.  Enjoying that musical experience and deciding their sound was “not too bad” they recruited another alto, named their group The Redemption Singers and started singing at other events.  The members of The Redemption Singers have jobs ranging from the medical profession to education to domestic goddess and are kept busy with their families.  Performing together has not only deepened their love and respect for each other but also their faith in God.  They truly believe that “singing is praying to God twice” and enjoy sharing that gift with others.
