Welcome to Selah Praise Band!

“Let the Spirit move you!”

The “OLP Folk Group” begun in 1970 has evolved into Selah Praise Band of today, but the message in the music remains the same: “Let the Spirit move you to sing God’s praises.” And that is exactly what Selah does. Selah Praise Band shares this message here at Our Lady of Peace at the 9:00am Mass each Sunday. Over the last few years, Selah has also had the opportunity to share this message at various events throughout the Erie area including the Festival of Trees, the Relay for Life, and the LEAF Arts at the Arboretum concert series.  At each concert or liturgy, Selah strives to spread the message of Jesus Christ through contemporary spirit-filled music. 

In December of 2005, Selah Praise Band released its first CD, “We are one Body”, a collection of fourteen praise and worship songs. Last winter, Selah returned to the studio to begin working on its second CD, “Love Has Come”.   Production of this CD was completed in October. “Love Has Come” is a collection of praise and worship songs for Christmas. The selections include prayerful melodies, traditional carols and spirit-filled praise songs. Both CD’s are available for purchase in the church office, Hoffman Church & Religious Goods, and the gift shop at Saint Vincent Health Center.

Selah Praise Band always welcomes new instrumentalists and vocalists.  If you are called by the Spirit to participate in this rewarding ministry, come and “Let the Spirit move you!”
