Music & Liturgy

Fr. Francis Therese Krautter is a Catholic Priest and Religious with the Congregation of Saint John in the Archdiocese of Denver.

He is the Parochial Vicar and Music Director at All Souls Catholic Church, and the Chaplain at Mullen High School. He is a founding board member of Gaudium Verum, a member of the Archdiocesan Schola, and a regular singer at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish, Littleton. Fr. Francis sings with the St. Martin's Festival Chorus, and works to promote education in Sacred Music and beautiful liturgy.

John has been a Catholic church organist for 25 years, having launched his musical career early in life thanks to the dual benefit of growing up in a small town and being interested in organ music.

He has played in a number of parishes across Colorado and over time came to realize the inherent value in the Church's liturgical patrimony. John also sings tenor, though he is most at home when "singing" with the pipes of the organ, playing works that complement the rich heritage of Gregorian chant and polyphony.
