Welcome to the Michael Zabrocki MySpace "presence". It seems if you are an artist of any kind - you need to be here. I have made many friends and look forward to making many more! If you are new to MySpace - be careful. There's lots of good - and lots of bad. I hope you feel this is a "good" sight and we become friends!
8/22/2008 UPDATES and NEWS
Hi Friends,
Been awhile since I updated this page - so here goes.....
Summer is coming to an end - I know because sales have started to come in for my 2007 Christmas CD - "Christmas Peace"! (Thanks to all who made the album a huge success last year.)
Had a great time recently in Blairstown, NJ with my brothers and sisters in community - The Living Stones! Posted a few pics but will add more soon.
Watch for lots of changes to this site soon. Many exciting things in the works right now. Will post more in a month or so.
For those of you who want to know what I "believe" - a good start would be the Apostles Creed but I believe there is more to life than what we see and been taught. I believe there are many illusions we have bought into which keep us from our true beings and I pray I can find myself at a level deeper than I know today.
Peace to all. See you in September!
Mike Z., Br. Juniper, bscd

General Michael Zabrocki Info/Reviews from "the past" follow:
Michael Zabrocki is no stranger to Catholic Christian audiences.
Through his albums, "Take Him To Heart", "Call To Love", the Polish release - "Offering of Love" and “For This Moment”, his television appearances on EWTN and as host of New York’s teen show IcthusEQ! along with performances at hundreds of concerts, cable appearances, healing services and Masses Michael has found himself an international audience. Michael is truly answering Pope John Paul II's "Call for Evangelization" by offering Christians of all denominations original, contemporary songs with a scripture based message!
Michael's fourth album "For This Moment" showcases a matured/contemplative style with a collection of 10 contemporary hymns appropriate for Liturgical Celebrations as well as private meditation. Michael has stated that little makes him happier than knowing that some of these new hymns are being sung in churches around the country.
2007 found Michael celebrating his 30th year in Christian Music with the release of 2 albums. A “best of” collection titled “Seasons Past” and his first Christmas album titled “Christmas Peace” which has by all Catholic sales standards been a "hit".
Besides his own albums - "Take Him To Heart" was a featured on the Unity Award Album of the Year Winner "Catholic Artists for the Millennium". Michael was a featured artist on Italy's "The Word Sings To Mary!" (EL Mondo Canta Maria!) and Lynn Geyer’s Journey To Forgiveness.
Michael’s honors include Polish American World's Citizen of the Year Award, Honorary Alumnus from the United States only Polish seminary – Michigan's St. Mary Orchard Lake Seminary, induction into the Christ the King Hall of Fame, received Senate Proclamations for his achievements in Catholic Music and was awarded a Citation from Queensborough president Helen Marshall for his efforts in Catholic music and the Polish community in NY! Michael was proud to end off 2007 headlining at Carnegie Hall in New York!
Michael is married to his childhood sweetheart for the past 28 years and is proud of their three daughters. Michael has been Director of Music at several NY parishes for over 30 years.
Besides being a musician, Michael is a professed for life domestic brother in a religious community founded by John Michael Talbot, "The Brothers and Sisters of Charity".

"I found the lyrics and musical settings of this album an aid to my prayer and contemplation. The words spoke to the ear of my heart and allowed me to encounter the Living Word. In the stillness, I found delight in the Lord's presence."

If you are looking for something that is serene and meditative then look no further than the new CD by Michael Zabrocki. For This Moment is a collection of songs written and performed over the past three years during Liturgy and/or Prayer Services. Zabrocki's contemplative and peaceful style is equal to that of John Michael Talbot. The songs on For This Moment are based on scripture and excellent for use during Eucharistic reflection. For This Moment will lift your hearts and minds to the love and knowledge of Jesus.
