Sacred Music

Sacred music beautifully lifts the voice of the Church into harmony with the choirs of heaven. Gregorian chant—the Church’s native language of worship—is not a performance but prayer, sung in humble adoration.

Rooted in Scripture and tradition, chant joins man with the Word of God in timeless melody. It draws the faithful into the heart of the Church’s liturgy, uniting voices in a single sacrifice of praise.

Like the monks and nuns listening as one in stillness—chant leads us toward the altar of Christ. It quiets the soul and awakens wonder, creating the reverent space in which God may be received.

Why Chant?

Communal – Sung together with one heart and voice.

Organic – Arises naturally from the structure of the liturgy.

Accessible – Simple chants that lift the soul can be learned by all.
