Magnificat® Ministry Presents Magnificat® Proclaims, Episode 17, Elyse O’Kane –
Heavenly Melodies through Praise & Worship.
Magnificat® Ministry presents Magnificat® Proclaims. In this episode, Elyse O’Kane, a former speech therapist and reading tutor, explains her faith journey. Raised a practicing church-going Catholic, during her college years, Elyse began questioning her faith and attending Mass was no longer a priority, only to return when she was inspired and tended to by a group of ministering
women who helped her through a difficult pregnancy and then experienced a miracle. Elyse has witnessed many miracles in her life. One day, in 1991, a melody inspired by Mother Mary’s Magnificat came to her spontaneously after Mass, and it has since been used in many Magnificat Chapters and churches across the United States.
Elyse has continued to compose and write music, including two CDs, “With all my Heart” and “A Time to Heal.” In addition to writing music, she is involved in the ministry of intercessory prayer and healing and enjoys speaking to
groups about her faith journey.
Elyse is married to her husband, John O’Kane, and they have
three grown sons and daughters-in-law, and seven grandchildren.
