Dylan Balson

Music Ministry Coordinator (SFC & OLF)

Dylan grew up in Verona Pa, rooted in the Catholic faith from a young age he attended catholic grade school in the parish where he grew up in Verona. From the time he began piano lessons in second grade he always was fascinated with the organ at church and would always have to sit in the pew closet to where the organ and choir area was at his home parish.

Shortly after beginning piano lessons a few years later he began organ studies from an organist in his hometown and fell in love with the immense sound capabilities the organ had compared to the piano which only has one distinct sound that everyone can recognize. He continued to study piano privately throughout the years and his exposure to music from a very young age is what led him to major in music in college. He is very excited to join the Mary, Queen of Saints Parish community and really looks forward to continuing to grow the Music Ministries here within the parish!

Dylan recently graduated from Seton Hill University with a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education as a Piano and Organ Major and Secondary Vocal Training. He also completed courses in Sacred Music and Hymnody. Welcome, Dylan!
