Youth connect easily
with Peter and his engaging and authentic musical style. As a prayer and
music leader or a retreat director, Peter is sure to help young people
connect with God."
-Cathy Walz, Chicago, IL
"There’s so much to say about Peter Bierer…his music comes from his heart. The lyrics are grounded in scripture and truth and speak of hope. Peter is a youth minister who shares his faith with young people through his music, retreat work, service and outreach. He is an incredible role model for young people today…he has a servant heart and has heard God’s invitation to live the gospel. He’s funny, he’s a gifted musician and has a heart for youth!"
-Jane Angha, Director of Faith Formation at St. Bernard's Parish in Appleton, WI
“I find Peter to be extremely creative; his music is fresh and engaging. What I find most impressive about him is his commitment to his personal faith and his ability to connect with youth. When he leads prayer for Young Neighbors in Action he empowers the community to pray well. His ability to lead prayer and his musical talent help make him stand out as a young Catholic musician.”
-Sean Lansing, Program Director for Young Neighbors in Action
"Peter's talent and ability has been a blessing to those who have experienced his prayerful gift of music. The energy and enthusiasm he has allows us to encounter Christ in a profound way. Peter is not a performer. Rather, his music is a prayer, and we are privileged to 'pray' with him."
-Fr. Tim Biren,
St. Thomas More Newman Center,
Minnesota State Mankato
"[Peter] you draw me in both musically and emotionally...you've excellent talent."
-Dr. Kim Jullian, Professional Singer,Vocal Professor - Minn. State Univeristy, Mankato
