Odyssey

The word Odyssey means ‘a spiritual journey on which many things happen’ and when Catherine O’Connell, Joe Holt and Dave Canavan began their journey together almost two years ago they were inspired by the challenge of combining liturgical and contemporary music and hope to enhance and enrich the celebration of mass.

Odyssey are committed to bringing a unique and spiritually uplifting experience to any mass or celebration they play for. The music is chosen with special emphasis on spiritual themes but with songs that many people.
