Guestbook

We briefly met when you visited last. My name is Linda, my husband and I are the keepers of this beautiful 35 acres we love and call Highden. I was wondering if and when you had time to email me back and perhaps you tell me some stories about Highden. Kinda regards Linda Henderson

My sister sent me your Christmas CD. Have to say it is one of the nicest CD's in my collection. Thank you.

Good morning Chris. In November I had the priviledge of hearing you singing your song "The Sons of Gallipoli" at the RNZRSA Year of the Veteran function at the ASB Centre Wellington. Is it possible to get a copy of the song and music. I can not raise the 'Serenity" page on your site. The song was magnificent and the silence from those listening was amazing. The odd wiping away of a tear was evident. It was very moving. Kind regards D'Arcy

I expect that I have probably missed your concerts in Manurewa and Bucklands Beach by now. I did try and contact you some time ago to ask for more info about the Manurewa one as you mentioned this to be earlier in the year.. I am currently based at a private hospital in Mt Wellington so Bucklands Beach is quite close. I would be very interested in attending any concert / performance in Auckland that is held at a wheelchair accessible venue - as long as I can get there! Please advise me of any forthcoming events that may be suitable. Nga mihi aroha ki a koe mo te Kirihimete me te tau hou na Maree

Hi Father Chris, just played your Christmas CD - it is truly beautiful. Gave the other copy I purchased to my mother-in-law (as we both have seen you perform at fund raisers and have copies of your other tapes) and she loves it. God Bless and best wishes to you and your family this Christmas. Pam

Hi Chris, just again to say thank you for your marvelous concert at st Johns on Sunday. It was the first time I attended a concert of you. We pray God's inspiration and presence in your life, where you are now also going to be involved in a parish. Is it possible that you can add some of your beautiful music, when one does a slide show of your photo's? That would be great. Kind Regards Laurens

Hello Father Skinner, I heard of your beautiful music from your brother Peter. Do you ship overseas and how do you accept payment? God bless and keep up the good work. Sincerely, Debi

Wow awesome site Father, looking good. Fr Skinner is awesome. Always smiling and always knows just the right song to sing. I've come to know Fr Skinner a lot more recently thanks to Challenge and especially Catch Up 06! You're the man! Sectare Fidem Vincent Schumacher.

Thank you for adding salt and light to my daily life and prayer time with your songs. Proud owner of 'Raise Me Up' and 'Awesome God' (On the way soon) I just ordered this after listening to a friend's copy.

I work in the music store in whakatane and we really enjoy your album - you raise me up, I didn't realise until i jumped on your website that you had so many though wow!!!! Anyway keep up the good work! Cya

Sweetest and clearest songs I have ever heard. Very moving and so beautiful. I was honoured to be at one of your concerts in Kanturk, Co. Cork I think or in North Co. Cork anyway some years ago. Also I spoke to Fr. Chris as my late brother Fr. Padraig was P.P. in Sydney and mentioned this to Fr. Chris. Fantastic concert.

Hi Father Chris! It's Carrie-Anne here from the National Justice Festival. Your CD 'Serenity' is AWESOME!! With most CDs I thrash them till I'm sick of them, but I've been really good with 'Serenity'. I listen to it sparingly so I don't spoil it. It means so much more that way and it brings back memories of the fab time I had at the festival. Keep smiling Father Chris and thank you so much for the music!!!! :) Love Carrie-Anne

Gday Farther Chris, Its Zac here from the 2006 justice festival. I just wanted to drop a line saying how much i valued your presence at the festival. Your music has inspired and moved me. Your also a great bloke to have a chat to. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart for everything. Ive just finished listening to your albums and they awesome. Once again many thanks. Your aussie mate Zac

Ayyyyeeeee Chris, don't you look cute in your hawaiian shirt hahaha. Just writing to say thanks again for the music and words you shared with us all at the National Justice Festival.

Hopefully I will be able to go to New Zealand sometime in the next few years and we can catch up at challenge 2000 or something - I'd love to help out where ever I can. Take care of yourself and all the best, Meaghan.

An online friend of your brother Familytree, I've been blessed by your voice and your ministry. Thank you.

I admire your talent and your commitment to Jesus and Mary. I would like to see you wearing your Priestly dress. I am a Traditional Catholic! I cant attend M because i cant find a True Tridentine M. Can you help me with a question i have about the Old 1917 Canon Law? It concerns my "marriage." I am concerned it is invalid. I do hope that you will reply to this urgent email. Mary keep you.

Hello everyone.

You probably wont remember me, but we first met when I was just a little kid starting at DeLaSalle. There you taught us alot of songs and alot of skills, Its just fate that I accessed your website and thought ill just drop a little note just to say Hi

We both loved your concert here and we were sorry others did not take the opportunity to be blessed by your music as we were.We hope to have the chance to see you again,may our God continue to bless you in your ministry.

Your brother and I chat on the internet at times and he told me about you. Also, i was taught by the Marist brothers in high school. They have a school in Chicago, Illinois. I graduated in '70. I'm an old guy! My prayers are with you with the continued success in your music ministry. God bless all that you do!

I travelled to Dunedin to your concert on Oct 6th and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. It was absolutely awesome. I have also had many hours of pleasure listening to the CD's I purchased there - Golden Light and Serenity. Thank you for making the tour south and sharing your magnificent voice with us. May God Bless you.

Hello Great Uncle Chris, I am in the computer talking to grand dad your brother Peter. I hope you are well. I have been playing drums for the past 7 months and i hope i am getting better as time goes by-- M

Chris, You are wonderful. Good news and reports re your tour. Keep spreading the message of joy and peace. Rob

Went recently to a combined church "creation celebration' thing in Papakura. A woman played the Chris Skinner song about our island nation to a slide show of nz scenes. I found it very real to be worshipping God in this way. Often believers in Christ do not grasp the impostance of our maker's care of this world which he has made. Very grateful for this song's means of grace to me, thanks Sue

Thks for the concert at the Cathedral in Palmerston Nth. It was great and others obviously enjoyed it. Best wishes for the rest of the tour.

Thanks Chris for your wonderful music this evening. It was so great to hear the sound of your voice ringing in the rafters of St Pats. And good to be part of such a friendly crowd. I am not a church-goer but felt very comfortable and inspired in the Cathedral listening to your music this evening. You have a real gift! Margaret

Chris, Enjoyed the Hamilton Cathedral show very much indeed. Came away feeling the same as if we had been on a retreat. It was just superb. Keep up the good work in whatever ministry you choose. Anne & Greg

This is great site. Have recently come to know your music and the Lord blessed me with the opportunity to see you live in concert for the first time, at Hamilton Cathedral on 22nd September, 2005. Thank you for making a positive difference in my journey of faith, through your music and like the words of one of your songs, 'I see Christ in you' May the Lord continue to give you the inspiration to write, sing and spread His Love, Peace and Joy, through music..

Thank you Fr Chris for a truly wonderful evening of inspiration at St Mary's Cathedral this evening. Just sad that it had to come to an end. "I see Christ in you...' thank God for the blessings! JB

I watched you singing on the GoodMorning Show on Tuesday 13th Sept. What a beautiful voice you have you were surely blessed at birth. I have ordered a copy of your latest disc and look forward to the pleasure of listening to your voice again. My late husband is of Irish stock and he loved sing what a shame he ped away before he could hear your voice.He was a Marist Bos, and went to The Cathedral of the Holy Spirit here in Palm.North. God Bless

Just love the songs and cant not hear them eought. my sister in (SMSM) will love these to take back to Bangladesh

I hope you still remember I took a photo with you. Your "gift of priesthood" to the young and for the others at this millenium will be a real movers, inspirations and healers .Thru' music and songs that will help them to reflect and challenged their life to live to the fullest in the love of the Lord for God is good all the time. To me you too is a prophet via the songs you write. Keep it up! Thank you for sharing us the songs. I bought 2 CD's of yours and I used your songs in my evangelization work and share them what I experienced in N.Z. May the Lord bless you continuously in your missionary work, lovers for the young,the marginalised and suffering Christ! God bless you Father. Be assured of my prayers over here. With Jesus and Mary - B .B Nemesius

I was at Chris's concert in New Plymouth for raising money for those going to World Youth Day. The first time I had really heard him. I bought the album 'Serenity' for the Gallipoli song. It has been played numerous times in our household - some of the others are worth listening to as well!!!!!
