A Catholic Worship Band · Derry, New Hampshire
Sing praise to him, play music;
proclaim all his wondrous deeds!
The Music · I.
Songs written in the pews and recorded for the road. Streaming everywhere, offered freely as praise.
New Album · Out Now
Thirteen songs of restoration — anthems and altar calls woven together. From Chain Breaker through The Heart of Worship, a record that asks one thing of every listener: make a road for the Lord.
From the Catalogue · 2005
Ten songs cut with the full ministry — the record that started it all. Come Now Is the Time to Worship, Refiner's Fire, and I See the Lord, all in one place. Made for Sunday morning and Friday-night adoration alike.
Upcoming Missions & Concerts · II.

And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.

The Ministry · IV.
Lazarus has led worship at St. Thomas Aquinas in Derry, NH since 1995 — and taken that ministry on the road for nearly as long.
For three decades, Lazarus has played the music of the Mass and the music of the road — songs born in pews and proven on stages from parish basements to diocesan conferences. We are not a worship-rock band that wears a cross. We are a Catholic worship band, full stop.
The ministry began in 1995 when Frank Howard, a worship leader at St. Thomas Aquinas in Derry, started writing songs for the parish choir that wouldn't fit in the choir. Jarrod Williams joined on bass in 2002 and never left. The band has rotated through a dozen players since — but the mission has stayed exactly the same.
Our records are offered freely as praise; we tour to evangelize, not to fill rooms. We exist to magnify Christ and call others into the same.
To magnify Christ by leading others into praise and worship of God, and to evangelize through music.
— Our mission, in one sentence
