Bernie Foulk Memorial Lenten Organ Recital Series

February 26 – Omar Padilla

Director of Music, St. Philip Catholic Church, Battle Creek, MI

Omar Padilla opens our Lenten recital series with a program rooted in devotion and heartfelt expression. His playing reflects a deep sense of reverence — a musician who understands how sacred music can draw us into stillness and open us to God’s presence. With warmth and prayerful sensitivity, he invites us to listen for the Spirit in every phrase, allowing the beauty of the organ to lead us toward quiet reflection and renewed hope.

This recital series is offered in loving memory of Bernie Foulk, whose deep devotion to music and faith continues to inspire us. Bernie believed that sacred music opens the heart to God’s presence, and we honor his legacy by sharing the beauty he cherished.
