Who We Are
Founded in 2019, the mission of Canticle is to
draw souls to Jesus Christ through the beauty of sacred music.
The Importance of Teaching Gregorian Chant to
The Youth
Canticle teaches the gift of sung prayer to children and teens, inspiring and educating them through the rich tradition of Catholic sacred music, in order to draw souls to Christ. We strive to share this treasure of inestimable value through our programs and events, offering chant classes for youth and providing liturgical catechesis through study of Church music. Our ultimate goal is to nurture a lifelong love for Catholic sacred music among the faithful, equipping them with the tools to incorporate it into their personal prayer and share this living tradition of the Catholic Church. Through our efforts, we aim to make Gregorian chant accessible to our amazing youth, and to foster a deep connection to God.
A Church with a Voice
Gregorian chant, a vital element of our Catholic sacred tradition, holds immense importance and needs to be passed down to every generation. Gregorian chant enriches the Mass, drawing the faithful closer to God through its timeless beauty and profound spiritual depth. Teaching Gregorian chant to our youth nurtures their prayer life and fosters a deep connection to the liturgical practices and catechesis of the Church. By incorporating this sacred music into their lives, we assist in inspiring vocations and cultivating a lifelong appreciation for the rich heritage of the Catholic faith. Our work ensures that this ancient form of worship continues to elevate our communal and personal prayer experience, strengthening our bond with the divine and preserving the essence of our Catholic identity.
