Songs of Hope: Toto Sorioso on Faith, Music, and Ministry

from JOSh Friends · host Jesuit Communications

Kumusta, mga kaibigan! In this heart-stirring episode of JOSh Friends, we are joined by award-winning singer-songwriter Toto Sorioso, as he reflects on the deep and lasting power of music—especially in times of sorrow, silence, and hope.Toto shares how Misa ng Pag-asa, a songbook created by Mimo Pérez and Hangad at the height of the pandemic, reconnected him with the heart of his calling: to bring people together through music that uplifts, comforts, and heals.In every melody and lyric, he sees not just songs—but prayers that helped many of us survive and believe again. He pays tribute to church choirs and music ministers who serve with quiet devotion—waking early on Sundays, rehearsing after work, and giving their hearts in every Mass.🎶 Misa ng Pag-asa is more than a collection—it’s a companion in ministry, a reminder that in the simplest harmonies, we encounter God’s greatest promise: Hope.🎵 Celebrate this spirit of renewal as we prepare for the Jubilee Year of Hope, and rediscover your love for music with Misa ng Pag-asa—available now at jescom.ph/josh, alongside more resources for your faith and service.
