MISSION: PROVIDE AN ENRICHED WORSHIP EXPERIENCE AND ENHANCE THE LIFE OF THE ARTS THROUGH THE PERFORMANCE OF SACRED MUSIC.
The primary focus of the Aquinas Institute Sacred Music program is to support the assembly at liturgy in singing of hymns and responses. Singing is an integral part of the liturgy and the life of Christian prayer. Enthusiasm, love of music, and commitment are qualities shared by all musicians of the Aquinas Institute.
