We Train Catholic Youth

“I applaud all that Canticle is doing to form our children and young people in the faith. By handing on the beautiful patrimony of the Church’s sacred music tradition, young people develop a truly Catholic mind, heart, soul and imagination. Supporting Canticle is one of the best things we can do to evangelize the next generation of Catholics.”

Heading 6
"I have witnessed firsthand the incredible impact that Canticle has made. Through Mary Ann and all of the people who bring such compassion and dedication, Canticle has helped many Catholic youth, their families, churches and audiences to cultivate a connection to God through sacred music. In essence, the work of Canticle and the blessing of these children learning Gregorian Chant, brings people closer to God."

Why parents love canticle...
“I have the highest regard for Canticle in its mission of drawing from this treasury to engage the youth of today and form them to be the leaders of tomorrow. In my experience, the Canticle students have not only demonstrated skillful artistry to sing well, but the devotion and reverence of praying what they sing.

Mary Ann and Cassandra have a unique and powerful ability to teach sung prayer, instilling both strong musicianship skills, and knowledge of the spiritual life. Canticle is doing important things for the future of Sacred music. I am grateful I got to witness it!”
