This is what I have to say about Joe and Jean Ann..."Nemo dat quod non habit."- "you cannot give what you don't have." Jean Ann and Joe have Christ and He has them. This is what they radiate to all who experience them. In word and deed, they bring Jesus Christ to us.
-Fr. Ted Broussard,
St. Peter's Church, New Iberia, LA

"...Seeing you together, what struck me was your love of each other and of our Lord! Many times people meet me, and thank me for saying yes to God's call. I want to take this time to thank you for saying yes to God's call! May God continue to bless your marriage and ministry, in my daily prayers both remain!"
Greg Chauvin - Seminarian

"...their music is rich, diverse, and does what all good sacred music should...bring the listener into a deeper awareness of the presence of God. Both Joe and Jean Ann are extremely entertaining and yet so spiritual in their approach that they bring you beyond themselves to an experience of God. The teaching and message found within their music is solidly rooted in our rich catholic tradition. With a quiet holy hour on Wednesday to an upbeat youth concert the on Thursday, they had the ability to minister to all ages in a profound way."
- Father David Hemann, Pastor,
St. Cecilia's Catholic Church, Sanborn, IA

"We wanted to let you know we are thinking of you and loving you from Florida! We had so many great comments on you being with us at the (1999) Families For Christ retreat. We hope you will come be with us again!"
-Carolyn Kollegger,
Catholic Families For Christ

"The first moment I heard Joe & Jean-Ann Hand I loved their music. Since then I have come to love them. Their dedication to the Lord and the quality of their music serves as a model for other musicians. I will always be grateful to them for providing "Life on the Rock" with a theme song that people can't stop talking about. I enthusiastically recommend them!"
Jeff Cavins, Host of "Life on the Rock"

Joe and Jeanne Ann have truly become part of our parish family here at Mary Immaculate. Our youth look forward to them coming back each year and their "Holy Hour" presentations are anticipated by young and old alike. Their ministry is one of love and relationships, not just music. Through their example, they continue to teach us to recognize our gifts and use them to glorify our God!
-Kevin Dougherty, Youth Ministry Director,
Mary Immaculate Church, Farmers Branch, Texas

Dear Jean Ann and Joe: Thank you for coming to our High School again. The first time you came (spring 97) I was going through alot. I was really unhappy and I really had no relationship with God. When I heard you two sing together, something touched me. You gave me a tape, and I listened to it when I started getting down. When I would ride my bike I would listen to the words very carefully. My bike ride stopped being a long and horrible workout, and became my time with God to realize His beauty in the world. For the first time in a while, I felt His presence. I started going to mass, and to Eucharistic Adoration. Your music was my inspiration. Things got better, but I kinda lost that close relationship. I still prayed, but I started to lose that closeness. Coming back to our school today reminded me of that relationship. Thank You for giving up your life to try and touch others.
- Catholic High School Student, Louisiana

"Once again I want to thank you for your vibrant witness to our students! Your concert was the perfect compliment to our study of Revelation; a joyful affirmation of our Faith and God's great love for each of us. We look forward to your return. Any openings in your calendar for may? The children would love another Marian Concert! May God bless and continue to multiply your efforts!"
