My name is Anthony Nardino and I grew up in Toms River New Jersey yes, thats down the shore. Back in high school, I spent a few seasons running cross-country and track, but I spent most of my time either on stage or behind a piano. Though I enjoyed those glory days the lime-light, when I went off to college, I decided to use my musical talents in dedication to the Lord through liturgical music.

In 2004, I enrolled in the Catholic University of America and shipped down to D.C. At CUA, I became extremely involved in campus ministry as a whole and particularly in music ministry. Although I was pursuing a music degree, I supplemented that degree with every liturgy class that the school of theology would let me into. In 2008, I graduated with my Bachelor of Music in Pipe Organ Performance and a minor in Theology and Religious Studies; more important than that, however, in my time at CUA I began to learn what it means to be a Catholic Christian and I accepted the faith as my own.

After graduation, I enjoyed a few months at the beach (Seaside Park), and then started up as the director of music ministry here at the Catholic Center. I was thrilled to inherit an amazing music program full of young singers and instrumentalists who all seemed to share two things in common: a love of music and a love of God who could ask for anything more?! Since that first semester, the music program has grown substantially, and were always moving onward and upward.

One of the most amazing things about this ministry is that Im able to witness students at every musical level, from a student with no musical training to a senior about to graduate with a degree in music, coming together in common musical worship. So whether you can sing all 24 Italian Songs and Arias, or if as of now, your solo vocal career only exists in the shower come on by and check out music ministry at the Catholic Center. It would be great to get to know you.
