In this episode of Catholics in Ordinary Time, we sit down with Daniel Dangca, a music director with a PhD who has spent years serving the Church from the choir loft and the planning table.

Daniel shares what he genuinely loves about working in a parish, the beauty and weight of shaping music for the Mass, and the reality of navigating moments when a congregation is not always happy or on the same page. With honesty and wisdom, he reflects on how those challenges have shaped his leadership, patience, and vision.

At the heart of the conversation is a simple but demanding goal enhancing the Mass and helping the congregation move from spectators to participants. This episode is for musicians, parish leaders, and anyone curious about what it really looks like to serve the Church faithfully in ordinary time.
