To begin its Lenten journey, St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Springfield, Delaware County welcomed Catholic singer/songwriter Marty Rotella for two sessions last week with songs that, as he described, delivered the message of God’s love to help people develop concern for others and give themselves a sense of self-worth.
Rotella is also an evangelist with “Spirit Power,” a ministry of the nonprofit Stewardship: A Mission of Faith.
