"Phil and Sue Fortin have emerged as strong leaders of music ministry because of their diverse musical background and their deep spirituality. They are comfortable with music in all styles of sung prayer from traditional to LIFE TEEN and complement this ministry with a gift for composing their own music - a bonus for any community looking for effective music ministry. If you have any doubts, then just take a listen to their CD!"

“Phil and Sue - Witnessing your music ministry was wonderful. Your music, and the way you deliver it, is faith-filled, joy-filled. It's passionate, assembly centered, and absolutely spirit-filled. I love it; people will be blessed to see you and hear your music recorded."

Jesse Manibusan
OCP Composer, recording artist, and workshop clinician

"As a priest and as a liturgical musician, I have had the real blessing and privilege or working with the Fortins. They are the real deal: superb musicians, great composers, liturgically astute, sensitive, adaptable, and cooperative. They know how to lead prayer, they are at prayer themselves. Their ministry makes me a better presider. Their combination of musical skills and deep faith is rare indeed.”

Father Mike Boutin
Former LIFE TEEN Program Presider, Immaculate Conception, Stoughton, MA

“As Christians we are called to make a joyful noise to the Lord. The music ministry of Phil and Sue Fortin will certainly support that calling. Their involvement with our retreat ministry has lifted the souls of our participants and deepened the quality of our liturgical celebrations.”

“It has been a great blessing for me to work with Phil and Sue Fortin and the entire New Creation Band. True ministry is what they are all about. You can hear it in the way they sing, play and interact with people. They do what they do for one reason -- to share their gifts with, to, and for Jesus Christ. They are professional in every sense of the word. They have my undying respect and admiration. I look forward to working with them many times in the future.”

Jim Flanagan
Coordinator of Youth Ministry

“I have found New Creation to be the easiest and most professional group that I have worked with through the years. Working with so many other music ministries, at rallies and youth conferences, I have come to know that there are those that are out to entertain and sell CD’s and then there are those, like New Creation, that stand humbly to serve the Lord and want to do what is best to honor Him. I would recommend them highly to any ministry in need of great music.”

“Good liturgical musicians are a rare gem, indeed. New Creation is such a precious gift! They awesomely lead people into deeper praise and worship. We all have been blessed by their God-given gifts.”

"For the past three years the quality music provided by New Creation has truly enhanced the Diocesan Pope St. Pius X Youth Awards ceremony at St. Mary's Cathedral in Fall River, MA."

Father George E. Harrison
Secretary for Youth
Diocese of Fall River, MA

“New Creation set the tone for a wonderful Adult Youth Ministry Conference. There combination of upbeat yet prayerful music allowed us to bring the Spirit into our gathering to guide us to a new awareness of our roles in today's Church. As Diocesan and Parish Coordinators of Youth Ministry our group is called to model Christ’s love to our young people. New Creation did that for us and showed us another way to make connections between what we do everyday and the God who loves us.”

John P. Campbell, Director of Youth Ministry
Diocese of Bridgeport, CT

“New Creation is a spirited and prayerful group of extraordinarily talented musicians. They brought an awesome 'presence' to our conference and were very well received.”

Louise Dussault, Director of Youth Ministry
Diocese of Providence, RI

“New Creation far exceeded my expectations at the New England Adult Gathering. Many people commented that their music was the highlight of the conference at prayer, liturgy, and in between.”
