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 Children
Canticle teaches the gift of sung prayer to children, inspiring and educating them through the rich tradition of Catholic sacred music, including Catholic chants for kids and children's polyphonic hymns, to draw souls to Christ. We strive to share this treasure of inestimable value through our programs and events, offering chant lessons for kids and providing resources like Catholic chant sheet music and kids' 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, including simple chants for kids and fun church songs. Through our efforts, we aim to make Gregorian chant accessible to young children and to foster a deep connection to Catholic kids' songs and chants.
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 children. Rooted in Latin, Gregorian chant enriches the Catholic Mass and the Eucharistic Celebration, drawing the faithful closer to God through its timeless beauty and profound spiritual depth. Teaching children Gregorian chant nurtures their prayer life and fosters a deep connection to the liturgical practices of the Church. By incorporating this sacred music into their lives, we inspire vocations and cultivate a lifelong appreciation for the rich heritage of the Catholic faith. Passing down Gregorian chant to the next generation ensures that this ancient form of worship continues to elevate our communal and personal prayer experiences, strengthening our bond with the divine and preserving the essence of our Catholic identity.
