Olivia Amting

Olivia Amting, a native of Marshall, Michigan, is a first-generation undergraduate student at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids studying Church Music on the piano and organ. She grew up homeschooled on a dairy farm and began her artistic journey at age 5 with piano and dance lessons. Later, Olivia started participating in musical theater, and she began her spiritual journey when her family started attending St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Marshall with their friends. She sang in the youth and high school choirs and cantored for weekend masses. Gradually, she grew in love with her faith through music and came into the Catholic Church along with her family at the Easter Vigil mass in 2015. Ever since then, Olivia has felt a call to spread Christ’s love to others through music and worship Him while doing so. Currently, she interns at St. Robert of Newminster under Jane VanHouten and teaches private piano, guitar, and Latin lessons.
