Catholic singer, Annie Karto has traveled the country extensively these past 20 years, her ministry taking her to Europe, New Zealand, Rwanda, Africa, Guatemala, and Trinidad. Annie weaves her songs in and out of her testimonies.
​
Over 20 years ago, after a deep conversion experience before the Blessed Eucharist, Annie was given the penance to spread the Lord’s Divine Mercy for the rest of her life. This “penance” has become a great joy!
​
Annie has strived to use her gift of voice, and speaking skills to evangelize wherever the Lord calls her. A highlight in her ministry was writing and singing a song for Rwandan genocide survivor, Immaculee Ilibagiza, titled, “Song for Immaculee” leading to a trip to Immaculee’s village in Rwanda, Africa, in August of 2011.
​
Annie has been invited to major conferences, and also shared at Magnificat Breakfasts, Divine Mercy retreats and Days of Reflection. Some of Annie’s talks include "Divine Mercy Flood My Soul” which is her focus, “Mary, Masterpiece of Mercy,” “Rise up and Shape the Culture, “The Beauty of being a Catholic Woman.”
Most noteworthy, Annie wrote a song for priests, “You are a Priest Forever” This song has been featured on EWTN for many years and has received two apostolic blessings, one from Pope John Paul 11, and Pope Benedict XVI. Fr. Bill Casey, Fathers of Mercy, recently called the song, “a classic.”
​
Annie is available to travel to any state in the country, and lives in Treasure Island, Florida, with her husband, David. They have four children, and nine grandchildren.

Dave and I will be married 41 years on March 19th, 2023. We have 4 children and 10 grandchildren.

 My wise, elderly spiritual director used to always tell me, "Your first vocation is as a wife, then mother, then your ministry."
I have always strived to keep these in order. I thank God for my dear husband. Without Christ as the Center of our marriage, we could have never survived the challenges we faced. Thank you Lord, Author of Life, Author of love.
