Catholic Music Spotlight: Summer Playlist To Help You Grow Spiritually

by June, Music | A Selection Of Our Favorite Catholic And Christian Songs and Artists

Why is mainstream summer music about bikinis and crazy parties? It’s like the weather changes and suddenly the radio is a bit more “party culture” than normal. That is, unless, of course, you tune in to the Christian stations.

Here is a playlist you can listen to all summer long that is uplifting, encouraging, and will help you grow spiritually—and none of the lyrics will make you feel like you need to go to Confession!

You can play them for your road trip, summer family reunion at the pool, or while cleaning out the garage. There’s a mix of Christian and Catholic-Christian artists, and many are collaborative. Some are songs to really rock out to while others are more of a lazy river pace; there are songs in other languages and songs that are bluegrass or jazzy. All deliver the feel of a warm summer day with the joy and peace of centering your life on Christ.

This list includes some great Catholic artists you can find on our updated list (https://catholic-link.org/11-catholic-musicians-so-good-youll-want-to-listen-to-them-even-when-youre-not-at-church/ ) of Catholic musicians.
