Reverent Liturgy & Sacred Music:
The Key to Evangelization

We bring priests together, create and curate resources, and promote sacred music in the service of classically Catholic worship.

Vision

“Our goal is every liturgy, every Mass in every parish, is a real encounter with the Lord and sets people on fire for their faith.”
– Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone

Reverent Liturgy

Tradition and transcendence wins souls for Christ. We inspire and equip priests to evangelize through classically Catholic worship practices.

Sacred Music

The Benedict XVI Institute energizes Catholic sacred music, connecting composers and artists serving the liturgy with parishes and Cathedrals.

“Our goal is every liturgy, every Mass in every parish is a real encounter with the Lord and sets people on fire for their faith.”
