Many supporters know Dr. Rick Lopez as the former conductor of the Archdiocesan Choir of Galveston-Houston. Over the years, individuals supported the choir’s concerts and programs. Now, through SMISW, Dr. Lopez and the Coro Gloria Dei Choir are continuing that tradition by expanding sacred music outreach as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
Your support helps offset the costs of upcoming sacred music programs and performances and allows this mission to grow.
