SACRED MUSIC / the CATHOLIC CHURCH
AN AWAKENING
For the Renewal of Sacred Music
We are a non-profit organization dedicated to the renewal of sacred liturgical music in the Catholic Church. We aspire to help parishes and communities of humble means, as well as those with an abundance of resources, to develop liturgical music programs which have integrity, depth and beauty.
"Without deep roots in our patrimony, liturgical music loses its integrity, obscuring the grace-filled dignity of the Mass as given to us by Christ and his Church. But without the kind of organic holy growth which has been an earmark of Catholic sacred music throughout its long history, our music risks becoming stagnant, and inaccessible to many of those whom we are called to serve."
Prayer for the Renewal of Sacred Liturgical Music in the Catholic Church
-Excerpt-
O God our Father, who through the Holy Spirit has inspired the Church's great traditions of sacred music, we ask you to send again in our days an outpouring of Your Spirit on all priests, church musicians, composers, and music educators. May they thus be filled with the fervent love of God and all those whom they serve, with a special concern for those in greatest need. May this love impel them to be good stewards of the Sacred Liturgy and its music, so as to humbly reveal the glory of God and draw all people of good will to conversion and communion with God in Christ.
