What is one piece of sacred music you wish more people had the chance to hear?

Let us know in the comments! Bonus if you can share a clip or video!

This conversation and community is part of why we gather for the Sacred Music Colloquium every summer!

For one week, musicians from across the country come together to learn, sing, pray, and immerse themselves in the Church’s sacred musical tradition.

And then they take that music home.

Back to their choirs.
Back to their parishes.
Back to their communities.

If you have a love for sacred music, consider joining us.

Come learn new music. Strengthen your skills. Sing alongside other sacred musicians, and leave with something you can share with your own parish.

Pope Leo reminds us that sacred music is so much more than song and chant. It is the musical heritage of the Church, a treasure handed down to us through generations, calling us not only to appreciate it but to preserve it and pass it on.

Visit us for access to hundreds of sacred music resources! https://churchmusicassociation.org/
