Singing star, clergy spouse Debby Boone will light up Bishop’s Concert
Debby Boone’s 1977 chart-busting single “You Light Up My Life” sold five million copies, earned her instant star status and a best-new-artist Grammy, and still is considered among Billboard’s Hot 100 songs of all time. Yet the singer, actor and author says she was surprised by its success.
“Initially when I heard it, I didn’t think that much of the song except that the lyrics, for me, felt like a cry to God,” Boone told the Episcopal News recently. “I knew that it was written for a movie as a love song, but it’s just the way it struck me, that it could be done both ways. It felt very meaningful to me.”
Forty-something years later, the mother of four and grandmother of three shares candidly the journey from the church of her youth where instrumental music, movies, dancing “were off the table” to a love affair with the Episcopal Church and an ongoing passion for spiritual transformation.
Married nearly 40 years to the Very Rev. Gabriel Ferrer, vicar of St. Martin in-the-Field Church in Winnetka, she is anticipating performing at the second annual
Bishop’s Concert on Friday, Oct. 11 at the bishop’s residence in Pasadena.
“I’m going to give one hundred percent,” she said of the fundraiser for diocesan ministries. “I reveal myself through music … (and) everyone’s going to have a really good time.”
The Bishop's Concert will be held on Friday, October 11 at the episcopal residence, located at 3435 E. California Boulevard in Pasadena. Gates will be opened at 6 p.m. and refreshments will be served before the performance, which will begin at 7:30 p.m. Valet parking will be available. Tickets at $75 may be purchased
here
. Proceeds will support diocesan ministries. Seating is limited.

Sister Helen Prejean to speak, sign books at Pasadena event
Vroman’s Bookstore will present Sister Helen Prejean in conversation with the Rev. Mike Kinman, talking about and signing her new memoir,
River of Fire: My Spiritual Journey, on Saturday, Sept. 7, 5 p.m., at All Saints Church, Pasadena. Prejean's work as an activist nun, campaigning to educate Americans about the inhumanity of the death penalty, is known to millions worldwide. Less widely known is the evolution of her spiritual journey from praying for God to solve the world's problems to engaging full-tilt in working to transform societal injustices. Prejean writes about the relationships with friends, fellow nuns, and mentors who have shaped her over the years. In this honest and fiercely open account, she writes about her close friendship with a priest, intent on marrying her that challenged her vocation in the "new territory of the heart." The final page of
River of Fire ends with the opening page of
Dead Man Walking, when she was first invited to correspond with a man on Louisiana's death row. This is a ticketed Vroman’s event; $32 tickets (including a copy of the book), are available
here. All Saints Church is located at 132 N. Euclid Avenue, Pasadena 91101.
