The Catholic Institute of Sacred Music at St. Patrick’s Seminary in Menlo Park, California is proud to announce its fifth summer term. We look forward to welcoming students pursuing our 36-credit Master of Sacred Music degree, our 20-credit Post-baccalaureate Certificates in Gregorian Chant and Sacred Choral Music, and students taking a class or two as a non-degree-seeking student.
The Catholic Institute of Sacred Music offers a rich learning experience for parish and school musicians who want to immerse themselves in the beauty, truth, and holiness of the Church’s sacred music and liturgy. The Institute offers a daily schedule of sung liturgies on campus and
opportunities for private prayer, a world-class faculty, dormitory rooms and common meals on a beautiful campus in the temperate climate of Silicon Valley, and opportunities for study in subjects that are inspiring, challenging, and practical.
Whether you’re new to sacred music or have studied music at the graduate level, our courses will assist you in unlocking the treasury of Catholic sacred music, helping you grow in your spiritual life, amplifying your knowledge of and love for Christ and the Church’s music, and
strengthening the skills needed for faithful service in the Church.
Join us this summer to experience the depths of the Church’s riches, taught by experienced teachers and musicians, faithful to the Church’s magisterium and tradition.
