Parish Chant

Welcome to Parish Chant! Interested in reintroducing some of the Church's sacred music tradition back into the life of your parish? This site is designed to assist especially those small parishes with little resources. The goal of this site is to assist in the implementation of the teachings of the Second Vatican Council with regard to sacred music.

"The musical tradition of the universal Church is a treasure of inestimable value, greater even than that of any other art. The main reason for this pre-eminence is that, as sacred song united to the words, it forms a necessary or integral part of the solemn liturgy. ... The treasure of sacred music is to be preserved and fostered with great care." (Second Vatican Council, Sacrosanctum Concilium 114, 116)
