Magnificat Institute of Sacred Music was founded in 2017 to promote the renewal of sacred liturgical music in the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church, in harmony with Church teaching and her great traditions of sacred music.

This mission has three vitally important dimensions:

1.) To facilitate a more widespread rediscovery of the beauty, genius, and importance of our great traditions, especially among those for whom they have effectively become a “foreign language.”

2.) To cultivate the composition and use of new liturgical music which resonates with holiness and beauty in people of good will today.

3.) To provide educational opportunities for clergy, church musicians, and laity to understand the vital principles which have been the basis for the development of Catholic sacred music throughout Church history, and which open up fresh new vistas for growth today.
