About Chris Brunelle

With his many years of experience, musical talent, and heart for ministry, Chris Brunelle has become a well-known and respected leader in Catholic music ministry both in his hometown of Portland, Oregon and now throughout the world as the result of his YouTube channel. An accomplished guitarist and vocalist, Chris started playing guitar in church as a fourth grader and was leading a parish choir by the time he was 16 years old. He is currently the music director at his home parish, Holy Family Catholic Church in Portland, a role he has held for 29 years.

Chris began his online ministry in 2015, and his YouTube channel has grown to feature over 1700 videos of Catholic music selections, with 47,000 worldwide subscribers and views surpassing 500,000 per month.

Having touched the hearts of Catholics far and wide, Chris has most recently been called to share his music and story in concert.

What People Are Saying!

“Our parish was recently blessed to host Chris for a wonderful evening of music, storytelling and fellowship. Chris is very easy to work with and has a truly humble servant’s heart. The blend of songs that Chris performed were indeed well thought out and at times we sang along with Chris and also were able to sit back and listen. It was billed as a concert but it was more than that. It was an opportunity to learn about Chris and his ministry and the paths that his passion has lead him down. It was an evening filled with comfort, love and humor! Those that attended this great evening are still talking about it (2 weeks later)!”

St. Jerome Church
San Antonio
Concert in May 22nd. 2024

“Chris blessed us with a night of beautiful music, engaging the audience with his singing, sharing stories of his life, as well as many opportunities for us to sing along with him. He gave of his time willingly, meeting parishioners both before and after the concert, and really helped us all to spend a night of fellowship and fun. It was a parish highlight this year for sure!”

Audrey Donaldson

Alta Loma, CA

“For NPM Louisville’s first in person event after Covid, Chris Brunelle came to St Bartholomew Church and gave a wonderful concert. The mixture of known and new songs interwoven by Chris with his personal music ministry story resulted in comments like “Great event!” and very high attendance numbers from our NPM chapter. One of the most beautiful parts of the evening was the sound of 4 part harmony that flowed out of those in attendance as we sang along with Chris accompanied by his beautiful solo guitar.”

Martha Richardson
Co-director NPM Louisville

“I was first introduced to Chris Brunelle through his YouTube channel. His videos were indispensable during the coronavirus pandemic shutdown to help our cantors learn the Psalms and Gospel Acclamations at a time when we were not rehearsing. The opportunity to host Chris at our church for an evening of music was very well received by our faith community. His stories and songs were inspiring. Everyone came away feeling encouraged and uplifted when we otherwise feel such a great burden in our everyday lives. We look forward to Chris returning and we know that
others will be as encouraged as we were.”

Melinda Arnold
Director of sacred music Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church
Springfield, Missouri

“We had a wonderful experience hosting Chris Brunelle in concert. He was very easy to work with, flexible, and his wealth of YouTube videos make it easy to advertise. The audience was impacted by his stories and inspired by his music. I wouldn’t hesitate in the future to host him, and I know that even more people would return to experience Chris’s ministry.”
