Sister Mary Catherine Brennan served as Director of Music for Saint James Cathedral in downtown Orlando for many years. She brilliantly suggested the Cathedral invest in a Wicks Pipe Organ which they now have to the benefit of our downtown community.
She is celebrated for her work as an excellent musician and her caring service to our community through Hospice. Her years as friend and educator of Perry Como and his children along with her work as Head of the Music Department at Rosarian Academy in West Palm Beach add to her accomplishments.
Her love of music, people, and life has brought much to our community through the years and she will be remembered by many for her contributions and service.
