As a professional musician, Tony Melendez travels throughout the United States speaking to thousands of young people. He was born without arms and has learned to play the guitar with his feet. As a singer and composer he was asked in 1987 by the youth of Los Angeles to be their gift to Pope John Paul II when the Pope came to America for a visit. Melendez impressed Pope John Paul II as well as thousands of people during his performance. Some will remember Melendez from his performance at the New Ulm diocesan high school youth rally in 1999 in Clara City, MN.
