Messengers of Christ (M.O.C) began four years ago (2004) in a talent show at a local New York City parish with the name “J-Unit” (Jesus Unit). It was through the talent show that God revealed His mission to them which was to bring youth and young adults to Him through prayer, adoration, evangelization and modern music.
In this short period, Messengers of Christ has animated many young people for the honor and glory of God. They are a tri-lingual ministry, speaking they speak Spanish, English, and “street” and have performed in a number of events nationwide including at the regional and national “encuentros” for Hispanic youth ministry. They have even led retreats and missions to the Dominican Republic and Haiti. What is so unique about this ministry is its diversity! They are made up of two priests, a deacon, one New York City cop, an after school teacher, a high school student, 2 college students, a banker, a make-up artist, a college counselor, and a public school teacher, to name a few.
The great difference is that they are not a ministry; they are a family in the Lord. Their range of expertise is broad and with all of their unique and distinctive sounds MOC has evolved to become one of the greatest ministries of Catholic music today. With their diverse styles of music to cater to people of a variety of cultures, their genres include hip-hop, Spanish and rock to reaggeaton and ballads. Through this phenomenon they have created a unique sound all their own. They write, play and perform all of their work. Demo available now!
As quoted from “Coming Together in Joy: 99 Sayings by Benedict XVI”:
“We are not meant to waste our lives, misuse them, or spend them simply for ourselves. In the face of injustice we must not remain indifferent and thus end up as silent collaborators or outright accomplices. We need to recognize our mission in history and to strive to carry it out. What is needed is not fear, but responsibility—responsibility and concern for our own salvation, and the salvation of the whole world. Everyone needs to make his or her own contribution to this end…”
